The fastest invention-competition is returning to the Indianapolis metropolitan area to host an event at Fishers Maker Playground!


From September 10-12, Make48 will unlock the tools needed to build with brand new teams this participating this year. Participants from all backgrounds, ages and skill levels that are interested in innovation and invention, will create under the challenge theme Food Preservation & The Supply Chain - Food at the Right Place at the Right Time.
