Impactful ideation. Rapid prototyping. Real-world teamwork. That’s the NC State Make-A-Thon experience. Be part of the excitement on Sunday, Jan. 25, from 1–3:30 p.m. at the finale of Make-A-Thon 2026.

Make-A-Thon is NC State’s sustainability innovation competition. Collaborating in cross-disciplinary teams, students work to create the best solution to a sustainability challenge. Over four days, student teams research, design and prototype solutions to sustainability challenges. Join us to see their final presentations and find out which teams will share in the cash prizes.

This year's competition will be capped at the first 50 teams. NC State students looking to compete can register at go.ncsu.edu/MakeAThon.

Celebrate #ThinkAndDo for Good!
