Make48 is Coming to Town

With community and education a central theme to Make48's success, its foundational institution is the Career Pathways Series competitions.  In each competition, Make48 will bring together Universities, High Schools, Local Innovators and Corporate Partners to pit eight teams against each other in good spirited competition.  Everyone has big ideas.  We give them the tools to make them a reality.
