The Makery & TechTinker Lab: Hands-On Innovation
Where curiosity becomes concrete. Our lab is a playground for invention, blending robotics, coding, and craftsmanship.
In our TechTinker Lab, students get to build and program robots from scratch. This hands-on experience makes complex concepts in robotics and coding accessible and exciting.
From toys and keychains to useful gadgets, students in our TechTinker Lab learn to 3D print their own ideas, bringing digital designs into the physical world.
Learning to code becomes a fun, interactive project in our TechTinker Lab. Students work together on projects that build foundational programming skills in an engaging way.
A parent and child work together in our woodworking workshop. These collaborative sessions build confidence and create a special opportunity for families to learn and create together.
Our 3D Printing & Robotics workshops allow students to explore design, engineering, and automation through real-time prototyping.
Welcome to The Maker's Lab, where students design and launch their own stomp rockets. This activity is a fun-filled lesson in physics and engineering.
Even our youngest learners get to be engineers for a day, building rubber-powered cars from scratch in The Maker's Lab.
A student learns to use a chisel in our woodworking workshop. We believe in teaching practical skills that help children think, plan, and build with their own hands.
Is your child always coming up with new ideas and fascinated by gadgets? Our robotics, coding, and 3D printing workshops are the perfect place to channel that curiosity.
Imagine the pride your child will feel showing off a toy they made themselves. Our workshops empower students to create while learning about 3D printing, coding, and robotics.
About The Makery & TechTinker Lab: Hands-On Innovation
Our Makery is not just a room, it is a space for the transition from passive learning to active creation. With tools ranging from 3D printers and laser cutters to traditional woodworking stations, we give students the agency to take an abstract idea and build a physical prototype. Whether it is a stomp rocket for a physics experiment or a custom gadget, children here learn that failure is just the first step in the design process.
We structured our labs to mirror the real world, not a classroom. We believe that when kids have access to actual tools, such as 3D printers, robotics kits, and mechanical stations, they stop trying to memorize facts and start trying to solve problems.
Our approach is built on three pillars: Learn, Think, and Do.
- The Makery: A dedicated space for woodworking and structural design. Here, students learn to handle tools with precision, understanding material physics through hands-on model making.
- TechTinker Lab: A space for the digital age, where students explore coding, robotics, and 3D printing. It is where they learn that technology is not just for consumption but for creation.
Everything in our labs, from the software used in IT and Society pathways to the materials in the Atelier, is chosen to bridge the gap between imagination and reality. We operate in Panathur, Bengaluru, and we view these sessions as more than extracurriculars. They are essential to developing the grit, logic, and creativity that traditional schooling often overlooks. Whether you are looking for summer camps, weekend workshops for families, or a K-12 environment that prioritizes innovation, this is where we build the future.
Ekya Nava
We started Ekya Nava because standard schooling didn't fit the world our children are walking into. We wanted a place where kids could build, fail, and try again, right in the lab. We aren't just teaching students, we are working with families to nurture the next generation of thinkers.
