George Hacks | Kogan Makerweek 2020

What is Kogan Makerweek?

Introducing Kogan Makerweek 2020 (October 11th-17th), a virtual installment of our Annual Kogan Makerspace! Unlike our traditional in-person makerspace on the George Washington University campus, Makerweek will mirror the remote learning environment that many students have adapted to in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even through a fully virtual event, we still hope provide an interactive platform for inspiring impact-driven innovation within our community.

As we quickly approach our biggest event of the fall semester, we’d like to ask prospective attendees to keep a few deadlines in mind to help us provide you with the best remote experience possible. Please take some time to read through our One-Stop Makershop (linked below) and complete the pre-event checklist on that document so we can get you squared away for an interactive week of activities, workshops and challenges that you can access from home. Students of all majors and educational levels are invited to join!
