About Break to Make

Break to Make is a two day hardware make-a-thon specifically designed for women and nonbinary makers. We're a space for all designers, engineers, architects, scientists, filmmakers, musicians, creative technologists, artists, and builders to connect and create.

Through our problem-centered and creative tracks, you'll join teams of 3-4 to build out physical products, experiment with innovative tech art, and explore the intersection of creativity and engineering. Whether you're a complete beginner or have experience with hardware, this is a chance to turn ideas into tangible solutions alongside a supportive community of makers.
