Find out how to quickly go from ideation to prototype in minutes from Max Mirho - speaker, content creator, and founder of Make with Max.
Max will crowdsource startup ideas from the audience, narrowing it down to the best “one” idea. Then he will build a prototype of this idea - LIVE - in front of you. Explaining his process and the reasons behind his “build” decisions along the way.
Students who are participating in the Make with Max Hands-On Workshop and invited guests - join us for deli sandwiches and salads.
Want to try what you saw at Make with Max LIVE? Join us for a hands-on workshop. Max will show you how you can use your mobile phone to build a prototype. He will walk you through the process step-by-step, demonstrating that you can literally launch a business from a mobile device! No experience necessary - just bring your mobile device!
