How MAKE Works

Learn by doing. Graduate by proving.

At MAKE, the challenge comes first. You learn what you need in order to complete it safely and well.

Inside a three-hour Interactive Lab

1

Challenge brief

You understand the target, limits and safety conditions.

2

System demonstration

You see the tool, machine, method or fault in action.

3

Build and test

You assemble, configure, program, operate or repair.

4

Diagnose and improve

You use evidence to find what failed and make it better.

5

Show the work

You demonstrate the result and record your proof.

The exact timing changes when a challenge needs field work, a company visit, extended testing or special safety preparation. The rule does not change: you participate.

How your work is assessed

You are assessed through what you can do.

  • working Builds
  • safe use of tools and equipment
  • fault-finding and repair tasks
  • system setup, configuration and testing
  • technical records and clear documentation
  • team Missions and individual responsibility
  • demonstrations and short explanations
  • your portfolio and Final Build

Short written checks may be used when safety, calculations or regulations must be understood. They do not replace practical proof.

Safety comes before access

Access increases as your skill and responsibility increase.

Robots, aircraft, batteries, high-voltage systems and industrial machines can cause serious harm. You must complete the required safety preparation before using restricted equipment.
