Nearly nine months ago, Intel kicked off the Make It Wearable (MIW) Challenge, with the goal of inspiring the next big idea in wearables. Part-competition and part-entrepreneurial mentorship program, the challenge has attracted thousands of global participants.
Teams of young entrepreneurs and developers alike have tested their limits, pushing the boundaries of their imaginations and of wearable technologies themselves in anticipation of the $500,000 prize, to be awarded this November.
