The spirit of innovation is alive in Wisconsin! Make48 held a casting call in Beloit, Wisconsin and teams from around the area showed up to Irontek to try their hand at the 48-hour invention competition. https://www.make48.com/beloit
Open to all ages, backgrounds and skill levels alike, Make48 is a nationwide, invention-competition docuseries that gives teams a challenge at the start of a two-day event. The first-place winning teams of the Beloit series will move forward to the Nationals in 2023, and will be filmed as Season 6.
With just 48 hours, teams must create a prototype, a 1-minute video and sales sheet, then present their idea to a panel of judges. The teams will have access to the makerspace and Tool Techs that can build almost anything, thus allowing everyone to have a level playing field and the chance to win.
