Looking back at 2018
2018
five years old!
This year marks five years of Makerversity! We celebrated hard and looked back at all the amazing businesses we’ve supported over the years - you can check some of them out here
Our public programme has been growing over this year, check out what’s coming up as soon as it’s announced here.
We’ve delivered projects with Direct Line, AMEX, NBC & UCL to name a few.
We’re really proud of our Makers with a Mission cohort, working at the cutting edge of innovation, and not only that we opened our first members only cafe/bar The Paint Room!
