Urban prototyping is an approach to exploring innovative strategies for solving complex urban challenges and engages the community in testing ideas and demonstrating change.
Pitch Night will introduce a larger audience to the concept of prototyping and provide an opportunity for the prototypers to refine and clarify their project. Each of the 16 teams will present their prototypes during a fast-paced “pitch style” program and have an opportunity to garner support from attendees and invite volunteers to help bring their project to life.
Attendees will learn more about the inspiration behind each prototype and its interpretation of Health and the Built Environment. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage directly with the “Makers” (comprised of individuals and teams of up to 20 people) about their projects.
