Northwestern Medical Makers

Our Mission

We design and build medical devices that solve real problems for patients and clinicians, turning ideas into impact.

• Hands-on upskilling: Learn the full prototyping process while shipping real hardware.
• Cross-disciplinary teams: Engineers, designers, and clinicians collaborate from day one.
• Build your portfolio: Iterate, test, and present devices that matter.

We typically run 2 project teams and partner with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and Stryker to guide problem selection and prepare members for the medical device industry.

Open to all Northwestern students—no experience required.
