Based on the hit television show ‘Shark Tank’, John Hopkins University (JHU) hosted their own version of the hit television show ''Shark Tank event''. 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 got secured guest speakers to talk present and also held a poster session for undergraduate students.

JHU UIF fellows Johns Hopkins University Innovation Fellows saw the need for biomedical students to be more business/and marketing savvy. They This group of Fellows believed that most biomedical engineering students were more than talented in terms of engineering, but were not apt at commercializing their research or their work. Their proposed Shark Tank event would help them ‘dumb’ down their research so that the general populace would be able to understand it. This event would also help the students learn to market their idea and themselves. The BME department also wanted physicians to see the talent in their BME &nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12px">department.</span>

=== Reaching out 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 potential speaker/s (how you found your speaker/s) ===the audience and participants and the prize money.

&nbsp; The event was held near the JHU hospital where graduate studies are. This was 30 minutes away from their main campus. Because the BME department was targeting physicians and faculty, this was the location that was chosen. JHU UIF fellows chose a glass room so that viewing capability was high from all angles and people who were just passing by would come attend due to curiosity. === <br/>Branding (how you determined the name and overall message for the event) === &nbsp; Initially, there were a few names other than Shark Tank that were considered for the event as faculty believed that Shark Tank would not promote the sharing of ideas. At the end, however, Shark Tank is the name that stuck as it was well known and popular. ==span style= <br/"font-size:x-large">Promotion (how you invited participants and shared the details with your primary audience) === &nbsp; To raise awareness, flyers were handed out in a common area. Along with that, a Facebook page was created to inform undergrad students. Faculty and JHU hospital physicians were sent ‘Save the Date’ emails months in advance so that they could free up their schedule. Graduate students were informed via email as well. === &nbsp;<br/>Support (students, faculty, staff needed to facilitate prior to and during the event) === &nbsp; The event pretty much ran itself.

=== <br/>Lessons learned 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 tips for others (what worked and what didn’tgave 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, and your recommendations for others) ===having the experience to instruct future students.

JHU UIF fellows believed that though Fellows agreed it was nice running this to run the event through the BME department, the but they would do it differently make changes to next timeevent. Aiming it towards toward just one niche of the engineering department really closed off their the audience. Next time, they would hold a more general Shark Tank in a venue closer to the undergrad’s reach. They would choose to stay on the undergraduate part of campus instead of the JHU hospital.
