JHU hosted a Biomedical Shark Tank event with graduate students as their participants. It was hosted by the Biomedical Engineering (short paragraph describing your BME) department at JHU. Before the Shark Tank event, hostthe BME secured guest speakers to present and also held a poster session for undergraduate students. {{#Widget:Youtube|id=5N2HQTyHaak}} For a lengthier introduction, topic, numbers, link)<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp; visit this website:&nbsp;[http://www.bme.jhu.edu/news-events/news-highlights.php?id=362 http://www.bme.jhu.edu/news-events/news-highlights.php?id=362] = <span style="font-size:x-large">Need and goal (what you did to assess </span> = Johns Hopkins University Innovation Fellows saw the need for biomedical students to be more business and how this marketing savvy.

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.<br/span> = <span style="font-size:x-large">Audience&nbsp;</span> = This event was aimed towards biomedical engineering faculty, biomedical engineering graduate and undergraduate students, and JHU physicians. = <span style="font-size:x-large">Speaker/s and Content&nbsp; </span> = 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. = <span style="font-size:x-large">Format&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Audience (</span> = 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 primary audience for . 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. = <brspan style="font-size:x-large">Reaching out to Potential Speaker/>s&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Speaker</s span> = Dr. Gulati holds multiple degrees in the fields of biomedical engineering. Henry Ahn owns a startup in biomedical engineering. Both Dr. Gulati and content (how you determined who should speakHenry Ahn held ties with JHU, and what they should speak about)were found through either faculty or by extensive research. Reaching the speakers was done by emails and cold calling. = <span style="font-size:x-large">Cost<br/span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Format (= Because the way highly endowed BME department was funding the entire event is structured, length of budget was not a constraint.

Along with that, a Facebook page was created to inform undergraduate students.

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. = <span style="font-size:x-large">Lessons Learned and Tips for Others&nbsp;Future leadership (how you figured out who would lead this event after you graduate)<br/span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Lessons learned and tips = 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. The JHU fellow that was interviewed for others this article was Nishant Kumar (what worked and what didn’t, and your recommendations for othersnishantgk@gmail.com). [[Category:Experiment]]
