Changes

The purpose of Start-up Weekend is to enable attendees to get educated, network, and launch a product- all within a super tight time frame. This Weekend consists of 54 hours of people, pizza, and pop provide provided in an environment not seen in many any other seminar events.

 It appears that most startup weekend events are focused primarily on launching web, mobile, or service products- they do not focus on engineered or material products. Understandable, as most products that require design research and physical prototyping are simply unfeasable to launch within such a short timeframe. A Fellow may be wise to take this into account when decidding if this resource is best for their purposes. A notable exception to this include includes the Toronto startup weekendStart-up Weekend, which hosts a 'maker edition,' giving attendees access to the full suite of resources one would typically encounter at a hackerworks/makerworksevent.
