Rules and Parameters

• Each team should consist of 4-6 undergraduate students.

• The event schedule, all Zoom links, and other pertinent information will be included in the Maker’s Toolkit (Google Drive folder) that participants will be given access to starting Friday, January 30th. Information will also be available on the Make-A-Thon website.

• If a participant cannot make a mandatory event (bolded and italicized on the event schedule), he/she must say so in the registration form. 

• The design prompt will be released at the Kick-Off Event, which will be held on Friday, January 30th, before teams have access to mentors and materials.  Any attempt to access the prompt before then will disqualify a team.

• Prototyping for this year’s competition is mandatory. Although software components may be integrated, the team's prototype must contain a substantial physical component.

• The use of software or prototyping devices not outlined in the Maker’s Toolkit must be approved by the Makeathon Committee. 

• Each team can request up to $75 for prototyping materials through this form. If a team needs more than $75, they can request up to an additional $150 by sending a link in their team Slack channel and notifying the Makeathon Committee.
