The bootcamp will run over two weeks, from Monday to Friday (15-19 and 22-26 June).

During the school, students will have the opportunity to listen to outstanding keynotes, follow classes and workshops on Device Design, and will work in group on a medical device project to solve one of the following challenges related to COVID-19:

  1. Enhance medical devices and personal protection gear design and fabrication
  2. Alternative tools for efficient and effective contact tracing and isolation
  3. New approaches for testing and diagnosis
  4. Reliable and cost-effective medical devices for therapy

During the Bootcamp, participants will:

  • Identify the device and its specification/standards (Day 1 and Day 2)
  • Design (conceptual design Day 3-5, more complex design up to Day 9)
  • Plan sustainability (Day 7– Day 8)
  • Document (on UBORA, everyday)
  • Present (intermediate and final presentation)
