CUNY Makers’ Collective
The CUNY Makers’ Collective, a new initiative dedicated to connecting individuals across the City University of New York (on every campus) who are passionate about creating physical products. Our goal is to establish a vibrant community where creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs can share experiences, challenges, and successes in the world of physical product development.
Whether you’re just nurturing an idea or have already launched a product, we believe your voice and experience are invaluable. Our collective will focus on the unique challenges faced in the realm of physical product creation, from manufacturing intricacies to crowdfunding strategies, and everything in between.
Monthly Meetups: Sharing, Learning, Growing
We plan to meet monthly, offering a platform for discussion, networking, and collaborative learning. Each session will feature presentations from members, Q&A segments, and open discussions on various topics, including but not limited to:
-Navigating the Manufacturing Process
-Effective Crowdfunding Techniques
-Market Analysis and Product Positioning
-Sustainability in Product Design
-Legal and IP Considerations for Product Makers
-Open to All Stages of Creation
Whether you are in the ideation phase, prototyping, or have a product in the market, your insights and questions are equally important. This is a space to learn from one another, share resources, and possibly form collaborative partnerships.
