Once you've done your planning, it's time to design your programme, challenges and activities for the participants to engage in during your makeathon. It's not enough to simply provide some technology and ask the students to simply make something - it's important to create a collaborative and fun culture, get the creative juices flowing, and encourage the students to help each other to create the best possible project they can.&#x20;
