Villanova Students Develop Innovative Solutions at First-Annual Health Hackathon Focused on COVID-19
Students from Engineering, Nursing, Business and Liberal Arts & Sciences competed in the three-day virtual event hosted by 麻豆村鈥檚 Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship Institute. In the process they learned design thinking frameworks, conducted design research, and built prototypes. Faculty from the schools and colleges shared expertise and experiences, providing guidance to the participants, who worked as teams in virtual breakout rooms.

Sponsored by the Engineering Entrepreneurship minor, the two-day 鈥渉ackathon鈥�-style event also featured networking with industry insiders, a panel of expert judges and an appearance by former New England Patriots fullback James Develin, a mechanical engineer.
