In September, we kicked off the Maker Olympics, a series of workshops designed to give you the tools needed to create physical products. The Maker Olympics included tons of fun activities ranging from CAD Design, 3D Printing, Soldering, and more. Unfortunately, the Maker Olympics is coming to a close and while were sad to see it go, we have something super exciting to wrap it up.
Drum roll please….the Maker Olympics will conclude in an awesome 48-hour Hackathon this weekend! Starting at 9am this Saturday, November 5th, participants will be able to enjoy mini-workshops as well as actually make and present a physical product to a panel of esteemed judges.
If you didnt attend any of the Maker Olympics workshops – fear not! While the workshops were intended to prepare you for the hackathon (and gave those who did an extra edge) you absolutely did not need to attend them to participate in this hackathon! Just note that the hackathon is team based, with a minimum of two members per team, and you can work on any project you want as long as it is a physical prototype! (If you dont have a team, we can match you with team members on the spot).
In addition to the fun, there will be $$ prizes for clubs as well as individuals. The prizes arent mutually exclusive, which means you can be part of a club and win an individual prize or vice versa. The best part about attending the Hackathon? You automatically get fast track access to the 2017 Startup Competition!!! And we dont think it gets that much better than that…
You can register here anytime before this Saturday, November 5th at 9am. Get on it!
