Putting Students to Work for Idaho Manufacturers

studio\Blu partners with Idaho manufacturers to mentor Boise State students in using their skills to move real-world projects from concept through designing, prototyping, testing, initial manufacturing, funding, and marketing. We will meet with anyone ready to move forward with product development. We do not require a minimum project size, a specific background, or previous experience.
