Calling all artists, crafters, and makers of marvellous things! This isn’t your typical arts-and-crafts day — this is MAKERTHON, where we swap glue sticks for cutting-edge technology and dive into the future of making.
What’s in Store?
- 3D Printing – Bring your ideas to life, layer by layer.

What’s the Vibe?
Think of MAKERTHON as a creative playground — experiment, collaborate, and make something extraordinary (or at least something worthy of your Instagram feed). No experience necessary. Just bring your ideas, curiosity, and a willingness to try something new. And it’s not just about the tools — we’ll explore how digital design, modelling, and rapid prototyping can help you iterate, optimise, and create products that truly engage clients and customers.
Come for the tech, stay for the creative energy. Let’s make some magic!
