Hands-on Repair Workshops for Kids
We teach children the practical life skill of fixing, not throwing. Whether joining online via Google Meet or meeting in-person at local makerspaces, our sessions focus on real-world tinkering and problem solving.

About Our Online & In-Person Workshops
Bring your broken gadgets, bicycles, or torn clothes to our sessions. In our small-batch workshops, your child will work alongside mentors to diagnose and repair their own items, learning how to safely use tools like soldering irons, sewing needles, and wrenches while troubleshooting real problems.
We believe in the 'Repair Maadi' spirit, which is why our workshops are not classrooms, but creative hubs where children aged 8 to 14 get their hands dirty. We break down the intimidating world of mechanics into manageable, fun steps. For our online sessions, your child gets a front-row seat to expert-led demonstrations on Google Meet. We keep groups small, typically 10 to 15 kids, so everyone receives individual attention.
When we meet in-person, we collaborate with spaces like Kreu in Sanjay Nagar to provide a dedicated environment for bigger projects like bicycle maintenance or circuit building. Parents play a vital role here. Because we want kids to learn using the tools they have at home, we ask that you help gather a basic toolkit before the session.
If a repair does not work out, we celebrate the attempt. That is how we learn. Our curriculum covers home electricals, gadget troubleshooting, bicycle maintenance, plumbing basics, and textile mending. By the end, your child will not just have a fixed item, but the confidence to tackle the next broken toy or gadget without rushing to buy a replacement.
