*Give students What happens after the Makeathon is over? If particpants enjoyed it, let them know what kinds of classes they should think about taking in the future to pursue their passions. Students should be given advice and help on what their next steps should be. It'll benefit them, and make them want to become back again next year.

KCVelaga moved page How to organize a Makeathon to Resource:How to organize a Makeathon
*Develop passion and hands on skills with tools and other machinery
*Connect with resources and other participants *Invest in people
*Have a good experience and want participants to come back the next year to mentor/help
*Have it be less about competition, but more about learning, forming relationships, and having fun
*Weekend long (Friday - Saturday or Sunday)
*Give them an open ended task, dont make anything too specific, let them build anything they want to!!*Friday - form teams, mingling, music, food, meet new people, Brainstormbrainstorm, learn prompt, choose what they build
*Saturday - mentors/professors help with the build, student volunteers tell them where supplies located, judging takes place at end of day
*Allow enough time or appropiate time for prototyping and brainstorming
<u>Judging</u>
Two different types of judging can be done, depending on your preference.
*Students create 5 powerpoint slides based on a template and then present in front of the judges
*There will be a vote for the crowd favorite
A few things to also take into consideration. Who will be the judges(if you choose to go with the powerpoint option) and what will the prize be(or will there even be a prize)? It should be noted that, usually, a competition like this without a big prize will attract more students because they are more interested about learning than winning.
