We’re Paper Crane Lab, a bunch of enthu cutlets (super excited folks) who love tinkering, teaching, and messing around with new ideas. Started during COVID, we kicked off with 'Science with Paper' so kids could learn with simple stuff. Now, our Bangalore maker space is all about letting you experiment, fail, try again, and mix tech with art. Half NGO, half wild lab – we’re here for the messy, fun side of learning. ### My work - **Hands-on Workshops & Clubs**: We run workshops in 3D printing for beginners, coding, electronics, art, baking, and more. After-school clubs too. - **Maker Space Access**: Our lab in Indiranagar has tools like 3D printers, laser cutter, and woodworking gear. Come tinker or join a session. - **STEM Outreach & Teacher Training**: We’re an NGO at heart, doing project-based STEM learning in schools and training teachers. Profits fund outreach. - **Custom Kits & Products**: Check out our 'Artyfacts by PCL' line for affordable science kits and creative project stuff. - **Open to All**: Kids, teens, adults – anyone curious is welcome. No silly questions, just art-tech workshops and lots of experimenting. ## Book To book Paper Crane Lab, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Paper%20Crane%20Lab.)
