Make48, based in Kansas City, Missouri, operates in the Events Services industry by running a 48-hour collaborative and maker challenge. In each event, teams plan, prototype, and pitch a product idea within a category revealed at the start, with the winner receiving a cash prize, a custom-made trophy, and potential advancement to Nationals filmed for APT/PBS. National live events are held twice a year, and the Make48 TV show aired nationally in Fall 2017, with plans for a web series and online competitions. In 2026, Make48 formed a partnership with SkillsUSA for the National Leadership and Skills Conference, signaling collaboration with education and industry partners. The organization operates with a relatively small team, focused on a specialized event format that blends hands-on creation with media coverage.
