Changes

We envision the BoilerDriver Hub to act as the following:

1. A platform where student innovators are nurtured and motivated to pursue their entrepreneurial dream and develop technologies which have a broad scope and potential to become a big company rather than just licensing the technology to another company.  2. A space where passionate students work towards disrupting the existing industries and creating revolutionary and global products.  3. A platform which networks and connects departments, centers, investors, manufacturers and public with student innovators. 4. A workspace for student innovators to ideate, collaborate, innovate and develop products with a promising business potential. 5. A channel to beta test the prototypes developed by student innovators to gain consumer feedback and constructive criticism prior to market launch for increasing the success rate of the product/ process. 6. A place with an innovative and exciting culture for students, faculty and industry partners.7. An organizer for quarterly business challenges and hackathon events. 8. A professional skills development provider. This is obtained by leveraging the talents of BDI student innovators and other collaborations. 9. A virtual guide for students who are either looking for other student innovators, investors or research projects. 10. A resource to find students with specific skills for research, technological development, creativity and presentations. 11. A platform to organize trips to tradeshows like Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
