We welcome you to this spring’s NeuroTech Course Sprint!

We are excited that you are taking part in this Sprint and excited to guide you through each of the four course modules: process, preclinical, clinical, and commercialization over the next 8 weeks. While you can go through the course on your own at your own pace, the goal for the Sprint is to both provide you with a schedule for completing the learning exercises and offer you opportunities to chat with and discuss your own questions with our program faculty.

Here's how it works!

Every two weeks, we will ask you to watch the lecture videos within a given module and respond to questions posed by the instructors of those lectures. We will then ask you to submit questions to the program faculty guiding the sprints based on the lecture videos that you watched, and then at the end of the two week module, we will host a online chat session to go over your questions and have an open office hours for you to ask questions about your own path in neurotechnology innovation.
