Some things about 2015
2015
A BUSY YEAR
It's been an action packed year at Makerversity. We've welcomed many new talented folk to our membership and a few new faces to the team. We've consolidated at Somerset House and broadened our horizons a little, not least with a three month pop-up at the iconic Selfridges department store.
As ever, we're a work in progress, and we're proud of that. We always welcome feedback, so if you want to know more, or have thoughts on how we can do something more / less / better drop us a line at hello@makerversity.org.
