Make48 is a 48-hour competition where teams are given a challenge, must build a physical prototype, sales sheet, and a 1-minute marketing video, and then pitch it to judges. The twist is that we have tool technicians and access to a Makerspace full of equipment and tools to help the teams build almost anything their imaginations can come up with to solve the challenge.  Collaboration is the key to success.

We have an 8-City series where the winners of each move on to the Nationals competition fillmed for the PBS documentary the following March.

We can't do this without the support from the community in several different roles during the competition.  Scroll below to find out the details about each role.
