Our vibe is messy, experimental, and all about letting people get their hands dirty with science and tech. ### What We Do Differently - No boring lectures here. Everything is activity-based, so you might end up building a light-up card or a Doodle Bot before you even realize you’re learning circuits or coding. We love mixing art with STEM, making it easy for anyone to jump in. - Our own hands-on science curriculum, ‘SCIENCE WITH PAPER’, comes with illustrated kits. Teachers love it because it’s not boring, and kids love it because they actually get to do stuff. - We run creative coding for kids, like making digital art with p5.js or building games in Scratch. Not just for techies - anyone can join in. ### For Schools & Community - Our ‘Thinkerers’ after-school STEM program is for Grades 8-9, where we stick around for the whole year, setting up labs, helping kids build skills, and then letting them design their own projects. - We partner with schools for remote electronics labs and special sessions beyond Bangalore too. - Our lab in Indiranagar is always open for short workshops - woodworking, kitchen chemistry, 3D printing, you name it. ### Community Fun - From our nerdy Sci-Tech Quiz nights to cozy STEM reading clubs (with snacks!), there’s always something happening. - We also host kids from NGOs for a day out in the lab, opening up STEM to everyone. It’s sometimes chaotic, not always perfect, but you’ll walk out thinking, “Aiyyo, that was fun!” (Whoa, that was fun!) ## Highlights Browse through Paper Crane Lab's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/papercranelab/stem-education-outreach-programs/featured) - ![We believe the best way to learn is by getting your hands messy!

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. ## More services from Paper Crane Lab - [Corporate Services & Team Building](https://mytribe.in/papercranelab/corporate-services-team-building) · ₹950-1,900 per participant (estimate) - [Custom Fabrication & Product Sales](https://mytribe.in/papercranelab/custom-fabrication-product-sales) · ₹350-1,250 per item (estimate) - [Makerspace Workshops & Lab Access](https://mytribe.in/papercranelab/makerspace-workshops-lab-access) · ₹450-950 per participant (estimate) ## Experts similar to Paper Crane Lab on mytribe - [Event Decoration & Styling by Mahin's Balloon Wiz](https://mytribe.in/mahins_balloon_wiz/event-decoration-styling) · ₹7.5-38K per event setup (estimate) · Mahin's Balloon Wiz - Weddings & Events - [Customised Gifting & Hampers by Cherry Blossoms](https://mytribe.in/cherryblossomsstore__/customised-gifting-hampers) · ₹120-5,500 per item (estimate) · National Capital Region - [Garden & Landscape Maintenance by Mano Landscape & Gardening](https://mytribe.in/mano.landscape/garden-landscape-maintenance) · ₹2,500-8,500 per month (estimate) · MANO ORGANIC LANDSCAPE AND GARDENING SERVICES PVT LTD - [STEM Programs for Schools by Tinkernauts](https://mytribe.in/tinkernauts.in/stem-programs-for-schools) · ₹950-1,250 per student per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Outdoor Space Design & Build by Rosemary Habitat](https://mytribe.in/ rosemary_habitat/outdoor-space-design-build) · ₹950-3,200 per sq.ft (estimate) · Chennai - [Engineering & Maker Workshops by Little Wings Innovation Labs](https://mytribe.in/little_wings_innovation_labs/engineering-maker-workshops) · ₹1,100-1,300 per session (estimate) · Little Wings Innovation Labs India STEM - [Kids' Workshops & Camps by Bond Over Bindings](https://mytribe.in/bondoverbindings/kids-workshops-camps) · ₹300-950 per child per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [STEM, Coding & Robotics for Kids by MakersLoft](https://mytribe.in/makersloft_kol/stem-coding-robotics-for-kids) · ₹7.5-12.5K per level (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Landscaping & Garden Infrastructure by Terrace Gardening](https://mytribe.in/chennai_terrace_gardening/landscaping-garden-infrastructure) · ₹80-180 per sq. ft.
