Mouser, Marvel & Imahara Assemble!

In the first project Mouser will team up with Marvel to build superhero technology straight from the movie Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War - including real-life working versions of Captain America’s shield and Iron Man’s gauntlet. Grant Imahara will team up with viral video celebrity Allen Pan in a series of videos to highlight the full build process - from concept to the final unveiling. This first project is sponsored by Molex and Analog Devices, who will supply new, advanced parts for the challenging build.

“With Mouser combining engineering and Marvel’s characters into an entertaining and easy to understand STEM-oriented video segment, it will help students and others gain new insights into the technology field,” stated Mindy Hamilton, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships at Marvel Entertainment LLC. “We enjoy working with any partner that helps to highlight the benefits that STEM brings to young minds.”

Imahara commented: “I’m really excited to get into the new Mouser Innovation Lab and start working on these cool devices from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’ve seen several of Allen’s project videos. I can’t wait to see what we can come up with in the lab.”

“The goal of the Empowering Innovation Together programme is to inspire and engage engineers of all ages - from students to millennials to lead engineers. During the year we’ll be exploring space tech, pushing the boundaries of drone capabilities and even 3D printing a car,” added Glenn Smith, President and CEO, Mouser Electronics.
