STEM Programs for Schools
Available across Bengaluru
We run hands-on STEM programs in schools where students use real tools to build projects from scratch, not just follow textbook theory or use imitation kits.
Pricing Guide
Single Session Workshop: The Maker Lab
The Take Home Kit
- Complete Project: Includes one full DIY STEM kit per student (e.g., Hydraulic Maze, Solar Lamp, or Art Bot).
- Custom Parts: Features custom 3D printed PLA structural components rather than generic injection molded plastic.
- Electronics & Power: Includes DC motors (3V to 6V), AA/AAA batteries, holders, connecting wires, and functional switches.
- Chassis: Built on laser cut engineered wood or high grade corrugated cardboard.
Real Tool Experience
- Professional Tools: Access to the Tinker Lab setup with real Phillips and Flathead screwdrivers, wire strippers, and pliers.
- Advanced Equipment: Supervised usage of hot glue guns and introduction to soldering stations for older grades.
- Safety: Protective eyewear (safety goggles) provided for the duration of the workshop.
Expert Mentorship
- Senior Instruction: Sessions led by senior Makers or engineers rather than general interns.
- High Attention: Strict 1:10 facilitator to student ratio to ensure safety and guidance.
- Science Focus: Covers the physics concepts behind the build (Ohm's law, hydraulics) and troubleshooting skills.
Semester Program: Young Engineers Club
Hardware & Mechanics Modules
- Tech Teardowns: Hands on disassembly and reassembly of real desktop computers to understand motherboards, RAM, and GPUs.
- Bike Lab: Practical bicycle maintenance training covering brake calibration, chain fixing, and use of socket wrenches.
Digital Fabrication
- Design Skills: Introduction to CAD software (like Tinkercad) for designing custom 3D parts.
- Live Printing: Operation of FDM 3D Printers (Creality series) to bring student designs to life.
Lab Access & Resources
- Prototyping Supplies: Unlimited access to balsa wood, copper tape, LEDs, batteries, and 3D printing filament.
- Power Tools: Access to power tool inventory including drills and drivers under strict supervision.
- Certification: Skill based badge system awarded for mastering specific tools like soldering or 3D printing.
About STEM Programs for Schools
We help students in Bengaluru become problem-solvers, not just textbook readers. Our hands-on STEM programs for schools give kids a shot at building real stuff with real tools. No plastic imitation kits - just drills, soldering irons, glue guns, and a safe space to try, mess up, and try again.
What We Do With Schools
- Run in-school STEM workshops where every child builds a project from scratch. These can be short bursts or longer sessions.
- Set up after-school STEM clubs for kids who want to dive deep and work on bigger, more complex builds over time.
- Work with teachers to actually fit our workshops into your existing curriculum, making things like physics or design feel more real.
How Students Learn
- Build, break, fix - that's our style. We use tools that many kids haven’t touched before. Sometimes things go wrong, but figuring it out is part of the fun.
- Projects include things like making wind-up cars, art bots, Bluetooth speakers, and even hydraulic mazes.
- Alongside electronics and mechanics, kids learn to ask 'why,' stick with tough problems, and get creative with their hands.
We've worked with schools like Mallya Aditi and Stonehill. Students leave our sessions with practical skills, cool projects, and a confidence you can't get from just theory. If you want your students to experience maker education workshops and real-world STEM projects for kids, we're ready to partner up.

My Story
Hey, we’re Tinkernauts. This whole thing started at home, me saying 'no' to my own kids way too much. One day it hit—those 'no's were shutting down their curiosity. So, we flipped it. Started saying yes to mess, yes to questions, yes to 'can I try?' We don’t have all the answers, but we want kids to figure things out for themselves. Parents, just making space for curiosity is huge. That’s what we’re about.
My Work
What We Offer - Hands-on DIY kits for kids, small group tinkering sessions in Bangalore, and school programs. All about real tools for kids.
Real Tools, Real Skills - No fake plastic stuff. We give kids real tools, safely. It’s about building confidence and actual skills.
More Than Just Building - It’s not about perfect robots or speakers. It’s about trying, messing up, and that ‘woah, I made this!’ moment.
Who’s It For? - Curious kids, ages 7-13. Great for screen-free STEM activities or gifts that don’t end up forgotten.
Why We Do It - We want kids to see possibility, not waste. Building future makers who love to fix and create.
