Have you been dreaming about having a Smart House since 1999? (Yeah, we just threw it back to the Disney Channel.) Then you'll want to check out the startups competing for the Kaylie Connected Hardware Prize on Demo Day. They're ready to show off smart inventions that'll make Alexa seem so last year.
Be sure to check out teams like:
- OnPointe – Their device will not only prevent dancers' injuries, but it will teach dancers how to improve their form.
- Notifier – Looking to protect the things that are most valuable to you? The Notifier has your back.
- Migo – They're designing a sleek smart-closet that will dry clean your clothes in the time it takes you to make your morning coffee.
- Plugin Blocks – How can we engage more students in the STEM fields? By making learning more interactive, of course. That's what Plugin Blocks intends to do with their prototype.
- UpWalk – Baby Boomers are getting older, and UpWalk will tap into this soon-to-be-huge market. Check out their smart-walker at Demo Day!
- Applied Motions – Like OnPointe, their device will prevent sports-related injuries, but it will also collect invaluable data. Like Google. Have we caught your attention?
You can even vote for your favorite. See you on Monday, May 9th? RSVP here: http://bit.ly/ZahnCenterDemoDay
