MechSE undergrad Mark Van den Avont (BSME ’21) joined the Grainger College of Engineering podcast “Engineering Is” to discuss his experiences in founding a startup as a college freshman. They also discuss achieving a healthy work/life balance in college, meditation tips, and more.
Mark’s company, HexNest, is developing a sports/gymnastics mat that will cost less than those currently on the market, making the equipment more accessible. It will also have a safer design.
