Over complimentary coffee and breakfast, 250 E Ponce community members gathered in the lobby to share their best "Shark Tank" pitches. From nurse robots to showerproof headphones and everything in between, the innovations shared were inspiring and the discussions that followed were equally as interesting.
The early-morning pop-up invited attendees to share their best invention idea via Kahoot, a global, game-based learning platform used as educational technology. No surprise here, nursing students have been heavily relying on simulation experience since the beginning of COVID-19, so there was a plethora of discussion around how technology can help make those processes better. More so, those who didn’t have a specific idea in mind were very open to collaborating with others in order to “invent” something. Below are all the amazing ideas our community members came up with and all we can say is, the Sharks may want to get their money ready for some future investments!
