Maker Match Night: Where Creativity Sparks Connection

Looking for sparks to fly?
Join us for Maker Match Night, a speed-dating experience with a creative twist! Work on fun, hands-on projects alongside fellow students and discover if there's a connection. Whether you're hoping to make a new friend or find a potential match, this event is all about creativity, collaboration, and fun!

How It Works:

At the beginning of the evening, each participant will receive a personalized token with their name on it. This token will be used to match you with other makers at each station. Here’s how it works:

  • Drawing Names: At each station, you’ll draw names from a cup to see who you're matched with. If you draw your own name or the same person as before, just draw again!
  • New Connections: You'll rotate through four different stations, each featuring a unique, hands-on project. Work together, get to know each other, and see where the creative sparks fly!

Why Join?

  • Get Creative – Engage in fun, hands-on projects that spark conversation.
  • Meet New People – Draw names and work with different partners throughout the evening.
  • Leave with Memories – Take home your creations, or leave behind a keepsake for your match.

Event Rules and Guidelines:

  • No Phones: To encourage authentic connections and focus on the activities, please leave your phone aside during the event.
  • Respectful Behavior: No obscene language or inappropriate behavior. Be mindful of others and respect their space.
  • Safety: If at any time you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, please let the event organizers know immediately.
