Congratulations Edge Sound Research!
EDGE Sound Research took part in the VentureWell OPENMinds showcase, where groups of early-stage student innovator teams came together to demonstrate their innovations for an audience. Once each team explained their demonstration they had the opportunity to win an audience choice award. Our very own EDGE Sound Research demonstrated how they are developing hand-held devices that translate sound into vibrations in order to improve communication between teachers and students who are hard-of-hearing or have developmental disabilities or autism. They took home the second place Audience Choice Award and received $1000.

Thanks to UCR Launchpad and TechStars, EDGE Sound Research (co-founded by EARS members Ethan Castro and Valtteri Salomaki) was chosen as one of six University Startups to be pitched in the CES TechStars University Pitch Competition in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is one of the largest technology trade fairs in the world with over 170,000 people in attendance from over 160 countries.
