Emily spent a day at IDEO’s San Francisco studio for an action-packed, high-energy dive into the IDEO design-thinking process. Expert facilitators will matched me with a talented and diverse team of peers, and together we designed venture concepts that explore questions about what the future might look like.

Like a hackathon, a make-a-thon is a fun and intense event where people build awesome things, but the tools they use go beyond code and skills other than software development are highly valued too.

Our team, comprised of an entrepreneur, business student, web developer, orthopedic researcher, and graphic designer (me!) spent the whole day exploring how the blockchain (and nanobots!) could help improve lives!
