October 27, 2025

MakerBot Education and Make48 recently teamed up for an inspiring webinar, How to Build a Makeathon for Students, where educators learned how to plan and host Makeathon-style events in their own schools. Whether you’re looking to spark creativity, strengthen teamwork, or bring real-world problem-solving into your classroom, this session showed how Makeathons and 3D printing can make it happen.

What we’ll cover:

  • How Makeathons encourage teamwork and innovation across all grade levels.
  • Ways to bring 3D printing into the mix — even if your school doesn’t have printers yet.
  • Real examples from Make48 events where students built prototypes under real-world challenges.

Host:

Andrea Zermeno, Education Manager

Makeathons combine creativity, collaboration, and technology in a way that inspires every kind of learner — and with 3D printing, the possibilities for student innovation are endless.
