Looking for sparks to fly?
Join us for Maker Match Night, a creative spin on traditional speed dating. Work on fun, hands-on projects with fellow University of Wyoming students, discover if there’s a connection, and craft the night away together! Whether you're hoping to make a new friend or find a potential match, this event is all about creativity, collaboration, fun, and a little music!
Kickoff: Create Your Name Tag Start the evening by designing a one-of-a-kind name tag with the supplies provided. Add your own flair—paint, stickers, glitter—anything that shows off your personality.
Round 1 – Make to Attract Dive into a quick maker project designed to catch someone’s eye. If another participant chooses your creation, you’ll head off on a mini-date. Feeling sparks? Leave your project as a sweet memento. Not quite a match? Take it back, refine it, and keep making connections.
End of Each Date – Keep or Rebound When the date wraps up, the creator can decide whether to gift their project to their match or keep it. If they keep it, they can place it on the Rebound Table for a chance at an immediate new date when the next round begins. Recipients can treasure the piece or set it on the Rebound Table to invite more possibilities.
Mingle Time: Arrive early and get to know your fellow makers before the speed dating starts! Enjoy some casual conversation, check out the materials, and get into the creative mood.
Post-Date Hangout: After the speed dating rounds are over, stick around and mingle with everyone while we wrap up the event! You never know where the next connection will happen.
No Phones: To focus on creating and authentic connections, please leave your phone aside during the event.
Respectful Behavior: No obscene language or inappropriate behavior. Please be mindful and respectful of others and their personal space.
Safety: If at any time you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, please notify the event organizers immediately.
Eligibility: This event is for University of Wyoming undergraduate students only, and participants must be 18 years of age or older.
