In the evening of September 28th at Toolbox Coworking took place the demo day of the autumn 2020 edition of YOU ARE Inventor, the prototyping bootcamp accelerator of the SEI - School of Entrepreneurship & Innovation During 10 days, students with a passion for technology, innovation and startups transformed their ideas into working prototypes supported by mentors, experts and the team of FabLab Turin.
The teams presented their ideas in front of a jury composed of professionals from the world of investment, innovation and startups: 5 minutes each and a dozen slides for the dream of seeing their project awarded and inserted in the mentoring path that will bring it to life.
Which projects were presented during this edition?
LACUNA | Distance learning
To address the problem of isolation felt by students due to distance learning, the Lacuna team has created a multi-sensorial platform for online lessons. Simply log in, choose your classroom seat, put on your VR viewer and headphones to join the virtual classroom and experience interaction with your teacher, classmates and environment.
