 John Hopkins University (JHU) hosted their own version of the hit television show ''Shark Tank''. JHU hosted a Biomedical Shark Tank event with graduate students as their participants. It was hosted by the Biomedical Engineering (BME) department at JHU. Before the Shark Tank event, the BME secured guest speakers to present and also held a poster session for undergraduate students.

 This event was aimed towards biomedical engineering faculty, biomedical engineering graduate and undergraduate students, and JHU physicians.

 Two speakers were invited – Dr. Gautam Gulati and Henry Ahn. Dr. Gulati holds multiple degrees in biomedical engineering. Henry Ahn owns a start-up company in the biomedical field. Both were brought in to speak about their experiences within the industry.

 During the event, in the earlier part of the day, the speakers addressed the audience. During the afternoon, undergraduate students in the BME department showcased their research and work in poster format. This poster session was open to the general public – so physicians, BME faculty and grad students were all part of the audience. There was a slight overlap between the undergrad poster session and graduate Shark Tank event. Overall, the entire day of events lasted approximately 7 hours.

 Dr. Gulati holds multiple degrees in the fields of biomedical engineering. Henry Ahn owns a startup in biomedical engineering. Both Dr. Gulati and Henry Ahn held ties with JHU, and were found through either faculty or by extensive research. Reaching the speakers was done by emails and cold calling.

 Because the highly endowed BME department was funding the entire event, budget was not a constraint. The few things that required payment were the venue, food offered to the audience and participants and the prize money.
-= <span style="font-size:x-large;">Date&nbsp;</span> =
+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Date&nbsp;</span> =
 The date and time were chosen to be most convenient for undergraduate students and physicians. The BME department really wanted physicians to be able to attend; finding convenient times for physicians became first priority.

 No sponsors were needed; the BME department funded the entire event.

 The ''Shark Tank''-like&nbsp;event was held near the JHU hospital, where graduate studies are held. This location is 30 minutes away from the main campus. Because the BME department was targeting physicians and faculty, this was the location most convenient for those professions. JHU Fellows chose a glass room for viewing capability from all angles and for curious people passing by.

+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Branding</span> =
 Initially, there were a few names considered''&nbsp;''for the event because faculty believed&nbsp;''Shark Tank'' would not promote the sharing of ideas. In the end, however, ''Shark Tank'' stuck because it was well known and popular. The overall message sent to the participants was that all ideas were worth working on. This is different from the message the TV show ''Shark Tank ''sends to its participants.&nbsp;

+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Promotion&nbsp;</span> =
 To raise awareness, flyers were handed out in a common area. Along with that, a Facebook page was created to inform undergraduate students. Faculty and JHU hospital physicians were sent ‘Save the Date’ emails months in advance in order to free up their schedules. Graduate students were informed via email as well.
-= <span style="font-size:x-large;">Support&nbsp;</span> =
+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Support&nbsp;</span> =
 The event pretty much ran itself. Support was most needed to set-up and break down the venue, guide the audience and to judge the ''Shark Tank'' event.
-= <span style="font-size:x-large;">Event logistics</span> =
+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Event logistics</span> =
 Before the event, ‘Save the Dates’ needed to be sent out in order to assure that attendance by ‘important’ people would be high. Catering needed to be done before the day of the event as well. Other than that, there were no major logistics prior or during the event.
-= <span style="font-size:x-large;">Media capture</span> =
+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Media capture</span> =
 The JHU event was not captured through videos or photographs due to IP restrictions. However, the speakers did ask for their speeches to be recorded. These recordings can be found on the website.

+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Evaluation&nbsp;</span> =
 JHU Fellows believe they reached roughly 80 people through this event. The audience came and went throughout the day.

+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Sustainability and Planning for Future Events</span> =
 Save the Date emails are important in planning events. Also, student participants need to be informed at least a month in advance in order to prepare themselves for the competition.

+= <span style="font-size:x-large">Future leadership&nbsp;</span> =
 No specific person was chosen to take over the ''Shark Tank&nbsp;''event&nbsp;after the JHU Fellows graduated. The Fellows were a part of an entrepreneurship group and gave the reins over to that group. Because ''Shark Tank'' was done in support with the BME department, the BME faculty know exactly how to run it, having the experience to instruct future students.

 JHU Fellows agreed it was nice to run the event through the BME department, but they would make changes to next event. Aiming it toward just one niche of the engineering department really closed off the audience. Next time, they would hold a more general Shark Tank in a venue closer to the undergraduate part of campus instead of the JHU hospital.
