What will you make? Rapid Prototyping with Intel

As usual, we're looking for 2 volunteers for the event. If you're interested, please contact us.

This month, we have 2 speakers from Intel to present the wide possibilities in their Galileo and Edison hardware platform!

Summary of the Talk

Crowd funding and the open hardware movement have created a new generation of innovators. Today more than ever, product development is accessible to anyone, anywhere. Intel has created a series of platforms to enable inventors and entrepreneurs to develop connected and wearable products. Join us to explore how your venture can take advantage of Intel’s technologies.
