Description: Ever feel the urge to build something cool? Come join us and build your prototype and business plan in 54 hours.

On April 22th - 24th, Startup Weekend - Maker Edition will be hosted for the first time ever at the UMass Dartmouth Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (151 Martine St, Fall River, MA 02723)

Startup Weekend is an event bringing together entrepreneurs, designers, developers and startup enthusiasts to participate in 54 hours of taking innovative business ideas from concept to launch. On Friday night, attendees will take the open mic to pitch their ideas in 60 seconds or less. After teams are formed via a popular vote, the rest of the weekend will be spent refining the ideas, with the help of mentors and seasoned startup entrepreneurs.

By Sunday, teams will be ready to present their ideas in front of a panel of judges who will award prizes, including co-working space or mentorship programs, all of which are designed to help teams build their startups after the weekend.

With the theme of Maker Edition, we hope participants will focus on building physical products, or at least provide a business solution with a combination of software and hardware. For those that already participated in previous Startup Weekend events, this event can still be an exciting challenge.

The most diverse teams are usually the best teams, so there will always be a team for your major. Don't already have an idea before coming to the event? No worries, you can still learn a ton when you contribute your skills to a team.

This event is proudly sponsored by Charlton College of Business, Optimal Partners & Business Innovation Research Center.
