BRING THE MAGIC OF THE MAKE48 TV SHOW TO YOUR CLASSROOM

WHERE STUDENTS BECOME INNOVATORS

Imagine this: your students standing before a panel of industry professionals, pitching product ideas that solve real problems for their organization. The room buzzes with energy, and they’re the ones leading it.

Created by educators and inspired by the hit television series, the Innovation Experience is a ready-to-implement program that walks students through the full design process from brainstorming ideas to building prototypes to pitching their solutions.

Whether your students are natural builders or brand-new to innovation, this experience gives them a reason to create, collaborate, and think differently. Every step connects classroom learning to the real world, showing them that their ideas can have impact.

EASY, FUN, ENGAGING

REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES
