by Paul Mignone
Back by popular demand!
Research Platforms will again be running the #SharksDen Innovation Challenge! This time the stakes are higher with the event running live at the 2015 3D Printing Showcase, and a prize to the value of AUD 1000 awarded to the winning team.
Before the 3D printing showcase (September 16th - 30th), you will be taught the tools to build, design and 3D print your greatest invention. You will also learn techniques on how to pitch your innovative product to a panel of investors.
You and your team mates will need all these skills at the 3D Printing Showcase (October 8th - 10th), as you will continue working on your designs live during the event. Teams will then pitch their idea to a panel of investors at the showcase. The winner takes the prize and the glory!
#SharksDen is as much of a journey as it is a destination. You will have the opportunity to talk about your design, share your passion with like-minded people, network with professionals at the showcase and learn some valuable professional skills along the way.
