We’re excited to announce the return of MakeHarvard! We are a hardware-based hackathon created to empower engineers, designers, and innovators.
MakeHarvard was founded upon a belief of the importance of a collaborative maker experience. We’re encouraging students to turn concepts into reality by providing them with a platform to envision their new ideas within teams and model a cohesive product using Computer-Aided Design software—we offer a wide-open canvas for their wildest ideas.

Eligibility
Any undergraduate/graduate student over the age of 18!
We do not filter our applications based on prior experience. Our team will look at applications on an individual basis and make careful decisions on how to make MakeHarvard a great experience for all. Think of MakeHarvard as an opportunity to meet people of all engineering experience levels!
