The third week of the\u00a0Summer Sprint 2018<\/a>\u00a0concludes the final presentations for this year\u2019s program. Each team displayed incredible progress in their presentation skills and evolvement of ideas. While some teams received more positive feedback among others, all five teams were consistently complemented once providing an update on their total interviews, target customers, hypotheses, user journey maps and prototypes thus far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

The first team, Eckstein GuideWires, aims to: \u201cprovide a variable stiffness endovascular guidewire for use by cardiovascular surgeons to simplify guidewire exchange.\u201d The students in this team include Daniel Eckstein (CBE, NYU Tandon), Nengi Charles-Ogan (BME, NYU Tandon), Octavia Larentis (BME, NYU Tandon) and Akihiko Ishihara (BME, NYU Tandon).<\/p>\n

The next team, Merciless Motors, explained their idea to develop a new, better performing electric motor. This idea developed by Nader Ahmed (NYU Tandon) and Anna Eva Kotyza (NYU Gallatin) addresses saving head engineers at small, premium, and electric bicycle\/motorcycle manufacture companies time and money. SmartFire Technology is developing: \u201ca trackable (firearm) magwell-lockout device able to deter firearms theft and aid in recovery primarily for FFLs (gun stores).\u201d Created by Richard Vo (CS, NYU Tandon) and Erik Humlen (MAE, NYU Tandon), they both have a personal interest in firearms with Richard earning 2nd place in the MO Monster Match 2014 and Eirik being a former Lance Corporal (Royal Norwegian Navy) Programs Expert.<\/p>\n

The YDK Chinese team, focuses on \u201ca mobile keyboard application that shows tones and meanings of each word when users type.\u201d With their keyboard, intermediate and advanced Mandarin Chinese learners can maximize their study time and learn Chinese while doing what they enjoy: texting their friends. With 42 interviews conducted by Yifei An (NYU CAS) and Denis Kaydanov (NYU CAS & Tandon), the YDK Chinese team confirmed they will determine their pricing model as they continue with customer interviews, have finished building their website and will begin exploring their hypotheses on the business model canvas.<\/p>\n

The last, but certainly not least, team to present is G-Ware. They aim to develop a \u201csmart wearable device, which visits nurses from skilled nursing homes to provide efficient and effective care to geriatric patients with intermediate patient acuity levels through batch data readings.\u201d Led by Paramjot Kaur (NYU CAS), Rhea Patel (NYU CAS) and Girish Palteru (NYU Tandon), the team addresses the ability to save nurses time in monitoring geriatric patients vitals and providing safer and applicable interventions to geriatric patients through reducing gaps in medical history. When reflecting on lessons learned, Richard concludes: \u201cSummer Sprint was an excellent opportunity for us to really critique and explore the core hypotheses of our project. Regardless of the outcome, the mentorship and processes taught at Summer Sprint will remain indispensable for many pivots and new ideas to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
