We are proud to share that one of our grantees was an award winner at the 2015 Tech Awards Gala that took place on November 12. An evening the San Jose Mercury News compares to the Cannes Film Festival or the Oscars, Tech Awards Gala celebrates innovation across Silicon Valley. A panel of distinguished judges choses two laureates in each of five categories whose technology is significantly improving the human condition. These laureates each receive an unrestricted cash prize of $50,000.
It was a fabulous evening and gave miraclefeet high profile exposure. Lucy Topaloff (of miraclefeet) and Ian Connolly (from the Stanford d.school) accepted this well deserved honor.
Check out this video that shares a wonderful overview of miraclefeet and shows the important role played by the Stanford d.school in the design of this life-changing device.
