Biodesign NEXT
Student Experiences
The Biodesign NEXT extension funding program was launched in the 2016-17 academic year. It builds on Stanford Biodesign's previous "Immersion Program," which was piloted in BIOE273 Biodesign for Digtal Health.
The stories below provide examples of how teams involved in both programs have used their extension funding awards to advance their projects, and the valuable lessons the students have gained through the experience.
Project Spotlight
What Students Are Saying…
“[Through the program] I’ve gotten ... a broad overview of creating a company. I’ve honestly never been so excited about a project, or felt so motivated by my team members and mentors.”
“This program has provided our entire team with a knowledge and a process for how to take promising ideas and try to make them a reality. I’ve also learned that if you have an idea that can potentially do some good in the world, there are people who want to help you succeed.”
