You will find a bit of creative chaos, with workbenches covered in half-finished prototypes, the low hum of our 3D printers and laser cutters, and a wall of postcards from our community. This is a space built for experimenting and making mistakes until you get it right, and you are welcome to come in and start your own project. Paper Crane Lab operates on two distinct but connected paths. On one side, we run STEM outreach programs in schools, teaching coding, electronics, and science through art, supported by our non-profit work. On the other side, we have our physical makerspace here in Bangalore, which serves as our headquarters for experimentation. ### Why a Makerspace? We started as a home-based initiative during the pandemic, focusing on 'Science with Paper' to keep learning accessible. As we grew, we realized we needed a physical home for our wilder ideas. Our lab in Indiranagar isn't just a place to buy goods; it is a shared space where we have set up the machines we love to use: 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, and woodworking equipment. ### Access and Community We don't believe in hoarding tools. If you have a project in mind, you can book an open pass to use our machines. We have people dropping in to prototype their own inventions, finish school projects, or just learn how a laser cutter works for the first time. ### The 'Artyfacts' Philosophy Beyond just access, our lab is where we produce our 'Artyfacts by PCL' line. This is our in-house range of ready-to-buy items, like laser-engraved stamps, custom puzzles, and unique stationery. The profits from these sales go right back into funding our outreach programs, so when you support our product line or join a workshop, you are helping us take STEM education into more classrooms. Come by for one of our open houses or workshops. We’d love to show you the magnetic tessellation wall, our vintage calculator, or the infinity mirror we built just to see if we could. ## About Paper Crane Lab I’m Mathura, and I started Paper Crane Lab because I believe STEM shouldn't be intimidating. We’re a team of curious people who love mixing tech with art to make learning fun and accessible for everyone. Whether we are running outreach programs in schools or hosting open sessions in our Bangalore lab, we are just here to help you build, tinker, and try again.
