SEP Makes: A Playground for Makers
We’re makers at heart. Whether it’s solving a tricky problem, experimenting with new ideas, or just tinkering like we did back in school, we love keeping our brains sharp and our hands creative. Throughout the year, we dive into projects that challenge us, inspire us, and remind us why we love what we do.
Hackathon Weekends
Fueling Creativity Together
Twice a year, we hit pause on the usual routine and dive into a weekend of pure creativity and collaboration.
Inspired by the Kaufmann Foundation’s Startup Weekend, SEP’s hackathons bring our makers together for 48 hours of brainstorming and building. Starting Friday night, we pitch ideas, form teams, and roll up our sleeves to turn concepts into code.

It’s a fast-paced, hands-on experience that mirrors the same techniques and processes we use every day—just with our experimentation mindset dialed all the way up. From exploring new technologies to sharpening our skills, these hackathons are all about pushing boundaries, learning, and having a blast with each other along the way.

“A great way to experiment with new technologies.”
SEP Makes provides a great way to experiment with new technologies or try something different. I’ve participated in most of these events since I’ve been at SEP and gotten something out of it each time. Whether working with people I don’t normally get to work alongside or building something fun, it’s a great experience.
