Gear up for the fourth annual University of Nevada, Reno Innevation Center Makerthon, set to take place in the Innevation Center Makerspace located at 450 Sinclair St., Reno, NV, 89501. Just two miles south of the University's main campus, this cutting-edge facility will be the hub of innovation from April 12th to April 14th, 2024.
