Tufts MAKE

Tufts MAKE is a team-based design group that explores new ideas by making awesome things.

Each week we learn about and practice each phase of the product design process by working on a variety of cool projects.

What do we make?

Websites, toboggans, projectors, apps, speakers, furniture, assistive devices, dance machines, scarves, giant waffle-makers, Oreo de-creamers; you name it. If you want to make or learn more about something by working with others, then we want to help. That’s why we exist.
