We had a training session led by one of our lab members, Brayton Anderson, on Ideation, Prototyping, and Manufacturing. We explored how to research effectively, prototype rapidly, and navigate regulatory landscapes (KEBS, patents, and compliance).   Tips include: When in the stage of ideation, you need to do a lot of research, and you need to be intentional about what you are researching on. Additionally, what helps whilst researching is to think through the lens of the end-user instead of the builder When it comes to manufacturing, think of which manufacturers to use at which stages Also think about what the existing regulations are, together with what the regulating bodies are for compliance Then also remember how the regulations and compliance differs with the different country markets (e.g the European market and the American market) Also think about the different forms of testing, especially when it comes to electronics.
