Joining Make to Innovate can be a very rewarding experience and give students additional skills they may not otherwise be exposed to in the classroom. Joining Make to Innovate requires a few steps, but it is well worth the extra effort.
About Make to Innovate
Students working on the 1U cubesat satellite.
Before joining Make to Innovate, please be aware that M:2:I is different from other classes. Students will work with their fellow students in teams and on a specific project. Students are graded on how well they achieve their goals, in presenting their work, and by being engaged and involved in their team. Most of your time will be spent working with your team. If you are self-motivated, a hard worker and have a passion to make things, then Make to Innovate is for you.
