MakersLounge Toronto #11: Build & Demo 🚀
Bring what you're building. Ship it. Show it off. This is your night to build something real surrounded by other makers who are doing the same thing. Whether it's a side project, an app, a creative tool, or something you just started — come make progress and share what you've been working on.
📍 When: Tuesday, May 28th – 6PM – 8:30PM
Itinerary:
• 6:00-6:15pm Arrival
• 6:15-6:30pm Kickoff + intros (you'll be placed into groups based on what you're working on from the form you fill out)
• 6:30-7:30pm Co-making session (heads down building time)
• 7:30-8:00pm Ship & Share (demo what you built or made progress on)
• 8:00-8:30pm Connect + mingle
✨ What's Happening: This is a Build & Demo night. Come with something to work on, make real progress, and then show the room what you did. No slides needed — just your screen, your prototype, your sketch, whatever you've got.
