Youth Innovators Competition and Design Bootcamp 2020
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:
- Enhance medical devices and personal protection gear design and fabrication
- Alternative tools for efficient and effective contact tracing and isolation
- New approaches for testing and diagnosis
- 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)
