Spring 2025 EDIE Makeathon

March 21-22, 2025

12:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. ET

Looking for a way to grow your entrepreneurial skills, professional network, and resume? Apply and join the EDIE Makeathon!

In collaboration with the College of Engineering, the Engineering Design, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (EDIE) additional major is hosting our first Makeathon!

The Makeathon is a two-day event (evening to evening, with food provided) where CMU students of all levels collaborate in teams to identify a problem, prototype a solution, and pitch their ideas. No technical skills are required—this event is all about creativity. We encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and welcome participants from across campus, including both undergraduate and graduate students.

This year’s themes are:

1. Improving Accessibility, Mobility, and Prosthetics

2. Increasing Participation of Women in Heavy Industry

Students may apply individually (we’ll match you with a team), or as a group (all members must apply).

Two $500 prizes will be awarded!
