Make48 Innovation Experience Brings Hands-On Learning to the Classroom

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


[Kansas City, MO] – [March 11, 2025] – The Make48 Innovation Experience is transforming how students learn by bringing real-world innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving into the classroom. This hands-on program challenges students, ages 14-22, to design, prototype, and pitch new product ideas—just like real entrepreneurs and engineers.


Witness Innovation in Action




Through a structured, competition-style format, student teams advance from classroom challenges to regional and national tournaments, where they showcase their creativity and technical skills in front of industry professionals. Along the way, they gain critical STEM, business, and design thinking skills while working alongside mentors who help bring their ideas to life.


“Students thrive when given the opportunity to solve real-world problems in an engaging, hands-on way,” said Brett Kisker, Director of Education at Make48. “The Make48 Innovation Experience gives them a taste of what it’s like to be an entrepreneur, an engineer, and a creative thinker—all in one.”


Schools, organizations, and businesses nationwide are partnering with Make48 to bring this hands-on experience to more students. Designed for flexibility, the program aligns with national education standards and easily integrates into classrooms, afterschool programs, or semester-long courses. Now, with the highly anticipated Make48 mobile app, the entire Innovation Experience is just a tap away—giving students and teachers instant access to tools, resources, and guidance anytime, anywhere.

I have been looking at various online math tools lately, mostly because my kid keeps running into fraction problems and I wanted something that actually explains the process instead of just spitting out a number. The Brighterly fraction calculator handles the basic operations on proper, improper, and mixed numbers, and what I found useful is that it breaks down each step rather than hiding the logic. For anyone who wants to verify how a particular calculation is structured, you can check it here https://brighterly.com/calculator/fraction-calculator/, where the step view is visible directly. It is not a replacement for actually understanding least common denominators or simplification rules, but as a verification tool it does what it claims. I would still recommend cross-checking…

I downloaded this game without knowing much about it and just wanted to try it. At first I didn’t understand anything and didn’t enjoy it. After spending some time, it became easier to understand. Now I play it sometimes when I have free time. It runs fine on my phone without lag. I don’t use it regularly. It’s not very special, but still okay for passing time and casual playing.
