The inaugural Health Make-a-Thon, hosted by Carle Illinois College of Medicine in partnership with various units, including IHSI, was held April 13. An overflow crowd was on hand to see twenty teams present their ideas to a panel of "dolphin tank" judges, and ten of those teams were awarded $10,000 worth of idea support to turn their ideas into reality. With the resources from the Health Maker Lab, these citizen-scientists have the power to change the face of medicine, better human health, and leave a lasting impact.
