We did it!

Nga mihi for a great day! We had a nice and successful event. It almost didn’t happen, because of the flooding in and around Dunedin, so we were really lucky. Shout out to all the plucky people who made it in, and also to the people who unfortunately couldn’t.

Thanks so much to our excellent speakers and convenors, MC Mike Waddell, the Maguire family, camera people Georgia Ryan and Mike Wilson, Otago Polytechnic, Kelsi Ferguson from catering, the barkeeps and cleaners and the campus services team, and the product design team. And a special mention to Tim and Machiko for all their hard work in the months leading up to MakeDo.

Fri 4 October 2024

The Hub • H Block • Otago Polytechnic • Dunedin

We are hosting a short fun event for design pros, grads, seasoned designers, industry partners and friends. 

This will be a day of thought-provoking panel talks and discussions followed by a party celebrating two decades of history, awesome people, design and looking to the future.  

Have a look at the plan for the day, or see a bit of info about our speakers and what they do for work.

Cheers from us in the Product design team: Machiko, Matt, Angus, Tim, Andrew, Gavin and Alex.
