The Maker Market provides a space for students to gain experience in scaling their talent, marketing, and selling the fruits of their labor to their peers and the public. For many, this is a first step in gaining entrepreneurial experience in the creative field. Plus, community members get to start their Christmas shopping early and support student artists while doing so! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The offerings ranged widely, from illustrations, hand-made and upcycled clothing, prints, henna tattoos, leather goods, knit and crochet crafts, jewelry, games, posters, sculpture, and pottery.

They see Maker Market as a powerful introduction to what the Hive is: a creative hub, a community gathering place, and a resource for anyone in the consortium. \u201cFor families visiting, it was a great introduction to the Hive.

We aspire to cultivate an open and nurturing environment for all communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why host Sparkathon at the Hive?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal of Sparkathon is to use human-centered design to solve challenges. During Sparkathon, students will empathize with a specific user, understand their point of view, ideate ideas, prototype, and test their products. This HCD process aligns perfectly with the Hive\u2019s founding mission: cultivating creativity with real-world testing materials and opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How do you secure partners, mentorship, and sponsors for the event?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We usually secure partnerships through 1) contacting past judges, PV alumni, club members\u2019 personal connections, and 2) cold emailing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What do you think is most important for students regarding this event? What does it offer them?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sparkathon was founded as an alternative to narrowly defined business case competitions. Our goal is to maximize participation and collaboration among participants from diverse demographics and disciplines. Therefore, rather than viewing it as a competition, we wish students to treat it as an invitation to become more aware of and practical about the complexity and diversity of the current world. As we said in Sparkathon 2025\u2019s email, \u201cstudents should compete, but more importantly, students should have fun!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why should people join Pomona Ventures? Who should join?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pomona Ventures is the 5C\u2019s most prominent and oldest entrepreneurship club. We aim to incubate and support student entrepreneurs through Sparkathon, SageTank, and other activities. If you are interested in actualizing ideas that improve or change the current system, PV is the right place for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5525 img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"715\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407-135x90.jpg 135w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407-135x90@2x.jpg 270w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/12\/DSCF9407.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each fall, Sparkathon sets students up for Pomona Ventures\u2019 Spring competition, Sage Tank.
