About this Event

What is it?


The Maker Challenge is a fast-paced blast of creativity. You’ll face a surprise problem, a pile of simple materials, and just minutes to invent a clever solution. Build something original, imagine as many uses as you can, and pitch it before the buzzer!

It’s messy, bold, and all about thinking outside the box. Because the best ideas don’t come from perfection, they come from play, teamwork, and daring to try!



Who is this for?

This is for you if...

  • You are interested in learning how to test your creativity in unexpected ways
  • You want to practice teamwork and pitching without pressure
  • You’re curious about innovation and design thinking (without the boring jargon)
  • Or… you just want to get messy, have fun, and surprise yourself!

No experience needed. Just bring your energy. We’ll supply everything else.





Who's leading this workshop?


The Maker Challenge is led by Yoon-Joo Jee, an awarded social entrepreneur, certified facilitator, and experience designer, currently Entrepreneur in Residence at City, University of London.

Yoon-Joo has extensive experience designing and delivering workshops that spark creativity, collaboration, and fresh thinking. Her work focuses on helping people step outside their comfort zones, experiment with bold ideas, and turn imagination into action.
