Upcoming Events, Courses, and Talks
Whether you’re looking for something educational or fun, mHUB produces events and classes that inform and inspire.
Never Miss a New Course!
As a hardware startup, have you ever struggled to convey your ideas quickly? As a design student, have you ever been unsure whether people understand your design concepts? Come join the inaugural Bad Ideas Workshop, where we will be learning how to develop ideas in teams and convey them using low-fidelity prototypes. You’ll have a chance to interact with the up and coming designers and engineers from the University of Illinois Chicago, and as a student you’ll have a chance to meet startups that are innovating with new products.
The event will take place on November 1st from 1-4pm. Supplies and pizza will be provided! Participants in the event will all receive a copy of the first edition of Bad Ideas, the zine. The team selected as the winner of the informal brainstorm event will also receive free copies of Bad Ideas, the card game.
