After finishing the course, I was asked to originate the role of a TA and student adviser for NUvention. This is a unique course which brings students from several schools of Northwestern to form teams to develop medical devices and businesses surrounding the devices. I advised each team on all components of the process such as opportunity finding, prototyping, IP, business development, etc.. My role also involved providing real time feedback from the students to improve the course as well as generating a final class-wide survey for feedback.
