Have you been daydreaming about a new physical product? A great way to move quickly out of the gate is with rapid prototyping. Did you know that's how Google Glasses were created? Gather various sundry yet simple items from pipe cleaners to cardboard and go back to kindergarten to make your first prototype, and then start getting serious with your design iterating as you go until you are 3D printing, and using Sparkfun and Arduino kits. This panel will share stories of how they used rapid prototyping to get their products off the ground.
