Students worked together in teams to develop their prototypes and were mentored by co-founders of the program Prof. Alan Wolf, former Professor and Head of the Physics Department at Cooper Union and US Patent Attorney as well as Prof. Eric Lima, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Cooper Union, and two professors from IIT Bombay – Prof. Amber Shrivastava, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Prof. Sandip Mondal, Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering.
All the teams presented and demonstrated their inventions to a panel of jury members who rigorously evaluated them. Team members were also invited back for a Q&A session for clarifications and/or details on their inventions.
Meanwhile, IIT Bombay congratulated the winners of the Invention Factory Program. “The Institute is extremely proud of all the participants who competed in the six-week program with grit and enthusiasm. Undoubtedly, the sky is the limit, and we cannot wait to see what other inventions they will come up with in the future,” said one of the organizers.
