This session is part of 2025 Crossover Day. Attendance is open to all SXSW EDU registrants as well as all SXSW registrants. As always, SXSW strongly believes in the power of mixing creative communities.

Calling all makers! Whether you’re in a classroom, makerspace, fablab, museum, library, or just maker-curious, join us for this maker-centered meetup. Two historic maker communities, Agency by Design Pittsburgh and Oakland, are joining forces to share tools, practices, and stories. Connect with us for maker-centered fun, whether you prefer low-tech, high-tech, or anything in-between. This open-ended experience offers choose-your-own-adventure options to tinker, design, and forge new friendships in the vibrant maker-sphere. Together we have a unique opportunity to connect and build community!
