The Make: Staff Gingerbread House Extravaganza

We’re always coming up with new and fun ways to celebrate a little holiday cheer here at Make:. This year, Todd Sotkiewicz, our VP of Partnerships suggested we have a little gingerbread house competition. The only real rules were that you have to have a structure of some kind and it has to feature Makey, our robot mascot!

The entries were, in my opinion, shockingly good, so we thought we’d share!

And that’s it! The staff really shined this year, these builds were incredible!
