MAKEiT is a different kind of technology event.
As opposed to traditional events where attendees passively listen to a variety of speakers, MAKEiT features hands-on activities that focus on a showcase of artificial technologies. MAKEiT is about thinking collaboratively with colleagues, learning through making and using creativity to explore new solutions. Registration is free and includes lunch. Travel support is available for those coming from the Commonwealth Campuses.
