2019 Rothberg Catalyzer Design Studio 3: Pitch Success

We catalyze medical device innovation at Penn, by providing a connected community and key resources to enable innovators across the Penn Community to improve patient lives and address the world's most pressing unmet medical needs.

Penn Health-Tech: Center for Health, Devices and Technology

Our Rothberg Catalyzer at Penn workshops, called Design Studios, give you an opportunity to learn from subject matter experts and get an edge on the competition. In Design Studio 3, gear up to wow the judges during the Makerthon Weekend with your best elevator pitch.
 
Creating a device is only half the battle, the other half is presenting it to stakeholder and investors. Make sure your presentation stands out from the pack. This workshop goes through best practices for engaging your audience during presentations and pitching. Our Rothberg Catalyzer mentors are here to provide insight and offer feedback on your pitch deck.

Rothberg Catalyzer at Penn Overview
 
Most people have heard of a hackathon, but the Rothberg Catalyzer at Penn is a makerthon. Instead of the classic hackathon focus on software development, a makerthon is where students compete to build innovative hardware solutions for healthcare problems. 
The makerthon portion of the Rothberg Catalyzer at Penn is an immersive two-day event to encourage interdisciplinary student teams to develop a simple prototyping project. Groups come together to address an unmet clinical need by prototyping a hardware solution. At the end of the weekend, projects are presented to a panel of judges and awards are presented.
Even if you think that you know nothing about healthcare or innovation, the goal of the makerthon is to create cross-disciplinary teams to build hardware and software solutions. Whether you're trying something new, getting a jumpstart on senior design, or kickstarting your tech startup - you never know what you and your team will come up with!
