SUMMARY:Jefferson Health Hack
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we solve healthcare’s biggest challenges! Jefferson Health Hack is three days of problem solving\, networking\, collaboration\, and a ton of fun! \nA healthcare hackathon thrives on the collision of different worlds\, experiences\, and cultures. It brings together people from disparate disciplines who may not work together otherwise\, to dream up scalable solutions for the most pressing issues in healthcare. These meetups can drive ideas and startups worth millions. They can also jump start significant improvements in our day-to-day practices. \nThis year\, participants will travel through one of three tracks\, or themes\, to guide their ideas: Health by Zip Code – Disparity Solutions\, What are you wearing? – Health Driven Wearables\, and Reimagining Death – Designing End of Life. Teams  will form in order address and come up with a solution to a proposed problem. Problems are identified and brought forward by participants based along the tracks. The problems are proposed and then groups naturally form as people join them based on interest and ideas. The teams formed based on these problems will work together throughout the duration of the Hackathon. Throughout the Health Hack at Jefferson\, NextFab experts will be there to offer consultations on product development and solutions. Teams are then invited back to NextFab headquarters to start prototyping their solutions NextFab spaces. After a presentation to a panel of judges\, a winner for each track will be selected! \n  \nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Manufacturing 101 with DVIRC at South Philly
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturing 101 is an opportunity to gain insights into working with manufacturers. The presentation will discuss design for manufacturing\, understanding supply chain development\, and manufacturing practices. We will cover design and manufacturing jargon\, how to determine best strategies for early production and scaled production\, and share resources to help find regional manufacturing capabilities. By attending the presentation you will be given the opportunity to help define new supply chain development services. \nWe will be joined by guest speaker\, Andrew Dahlgren. He has been working with Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC) on the Manufacturing Access Project to develop new strategies to connect designers\, makers\, and entrepreneurs to regional manufacturers. Over the past two years they have learned about the growing number of entrepreneurs in the region and their desire to source regional manufacturing capabilities. In parallel they have identified many barriers that have prevented entrepreneurs and manufacturers from working together. \nManufacturing 101 is their first step to addressing and removing those barriers. Andrew’s work as a designer\, maker\, entrepreneur\, and teacher has helped shape his understanding of the many parts of the industrial ecosystem at work in the region. As a teacher he helps many future entrepreneurs develop strategies for translating an idea and early vision into a manufactured product. Outside of academia\, he is working to develop new strategies for regional development that combine inclusive circular economic practices with increased access to design\, making\, and entrepreneurial education and support. \nThis event is open to the public\, but RSVP’s are required. \n\nLet us know if you can attend!

SUMMARY:Business Coaching with Earl Boyd in Wilmington
DESCRIPTION:Earl Boyd is a business coach and entrepreneur with nearly 40 years of business consulting and ownership experience. He is the creator of the 5 Step Business Start\, a digital online system that helps people start a business the right way. Earl is also Director of Entrepreneur Services at Entrepreneur Works and Entrepreneur in Residence at Philadelphia Fashion Incubator at Macy’s. \nEarl will be providing free business coaching consultations for NextFab members in our Wilmington coworking space on Friday\, November 15th from 1pm to 5pm. Appointments are 30 minutes and first-come\, first-serve. \nEarl’s other endeavors include: \n\nBoard member for Scotch Porter (Quallis Brands)\nVice President Board of Directors for Ralston-Mercy-Douglass\nFormer member of the Board of Governors for Saint Joseph’s University Haub School of\nBusiness.\nFounding President of West Philadelphia Financial Institution – Led organization to co-develop\nand co-own $50 million shopping center (Park West Town Center) anchored by Lowe’s Home\nImprovement Center and Shop Rite Supermarket. Lowe’s store was the first to be built in an\ninner city/urban neighborhood in the U.S.\n\n“An entrepreneur once characterized me as the ‘wise uncle’ that knows a lot about everything. She said\,\n‘Talking with him (Earl Boyd) is like talking with a family member or trusted friend about what to do with\nmy business idea\, how do I make money and how do I make an impact. He’s the person you go to when\nyou don’t know what to do (in business) and then he makes you believe that whatever it is you want to\ndo\, it’s possible.’ \nAfter thinking about her comment and reflecting on my career endeavors\, I graciously and humbly\nembraced the description\, not because I know everything about business. I am far from that. However\,\nafter 35 years of either being in business\, advising businesses or counseling entrepreneurs who are\nstarting businesses\, I have done a lot and seen a lot which gives me confidence in my knowledge about\nwhat to do and what not to do in business. \nStarting a business or being a business owner is a challenging task. My approach to coaching\nentrepreneurs is to provide you with substantive advice; that you can understand; delivered in a\nstraightforward\, personable style that allows you to walk away feeling confident and capable of doing\nwhat you want to do in business.” \nEarl Boyd
