The Spring 2025 Make48 Innovation Experience Pilot Program has officially wrapped! Across the nation, from Kansas City to classrooms far and wide, young minds were given a unique opportunity: to tackle real-world challenges and transform their ideas into tangible prototypes.
This groundbreaking pilot wouldn't have been possible without the support of our wonderful sponsors. Their belief in the power of hands-on learning and their commitment to fostering the next generation of innovators were the building blocks of this successful program. These organizations played an integral role in empowering our students, providing essential resources, and lending their expertise.
We extend our deepest gratitude to: Presto, whose innovative spirit aligns perfectly with the Make48 mission; Pitsco, for their long-standing dedication to STEM education; BASF, for showing students the power of chemistry in creating a sustainable future; MOSA Architects, for their commitment to manufacturing and innovation; Platte Clay Electric, for powering possibilities within our communities; Corteva, for inspiring solutions in agriculture and beyond; ATC, for their focus on technology and career readiness; Harley-Davidson, for fostering design and engineering excellence; Kadean Construction, Blind Spot KC, and the Foreseeable Future Foundation who recognizes the importance of inclusivity and accessibility of the visually impaired; and the Little Rock Zoo, for presenting a unique real-world challenge that sparked creative conservation solutions.
Their investment in these students has equipped them with invaluable skills: critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, and the confidence to bring their ideas to life. These companies provided more than just funding, they had the belief in what young people can achieve. Thank you for being an essential part of the Make48 journey. Together, we are truly building the future.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be spotlighting the exceptional student teams whose innovative solutions stood out. Students from all corners of the country rose to the challenge, tackling complex issues with remarkable creativity and determination. Each post in this series will delve into the specific challenge they addressed, offer a glimpse into their winning creation, and share inspiring words directly from the students themselves.
