At Tinkernauts, it’s not about perfect projects or spotless hands - it’s about letting children discover, mess up, and try again, all while actually using real tools. I’ve seen that when a kid gets a hold of a proper screwdriver or a glue gun, something shifts - suddenly, they’re confident, careful, and proud. ### What We Actually Do - Kids build and break stuff: wind-up cars, hydraulic mazes, even their own Bluetooth speakers - We take apart old gadgets - CPUs, motors, whatever’s lying around - to see what’s inside and how it all fits together - No plastic pretend-tools - only the real deal, but safety is always first (and I’m right there guiding them) - I start them young, sometimes as early as six - because why wait? ### Skills & Fun Rolled Together - It’s not just about building things, it’s about learning how to fix them too - We cover mechanical marvels, basic robotics, and jump into 3D printing or design with Tinkercad - Every session means a new challenge, and yes, kids do mess up - but they also figure it out ### How You Can Join - Small-group hands-on STEM activities for kids: after school, weekends, or school holidays - Parent-child tinkering sessions if you want in on the action - Maker camps with electronics projects for deeper dives - We even do birthday parties and corporate events If your kid is always asking “How does this work?” or just loves taking stuff apart, they’ll fit right in here. ## Highlights Browse through Tinkernauts's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/tinkernauts.in/tinkering-workshops-camps/featured) - [Video: I believe the best way for kids to learn is by doing.

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. ## More services from Tinkernauts - [DIY STEM & Tinkering Kits](https://mytribe.in/tinkernauts.in/diy-stem-tinkering-kits) · ₹650-2,400 per kit (estimate) - [STEM Programs for Schools](https://mytribe.in/tinkernauts.in/stem-programs-for-schools) · ₹10-25K per workshop/session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Tinkernauts on mytribe - [Engineering & Maker Workshops by Little Wings Innovation Labs](https://mytribe.in/little_wings_innovation_labs/engineering-maker-workshops) · ₹900-1,800 per kid per workshop (estimate) · Little Wings Innovation Labs India STEM - [Science Camps by Fun in Science](https://mytribe.in/funin_science123/science-camps) · ₹1,800-2,500 per 5-day camp per child (estimate) · Fun in Science - [Children's STEAM & Skill-Building Workshops by Build-It](https://mytribe.in/webuilditnow/children-s-steam-skill-building-workshops) · ₹600-1,500 per child per 2-hour workshop (estimate) · Build It - [Kids' Workshops & Camps by Bond Over Bindings](https://mytribe.in/bondoverbindings/kids-workshops-camps) · ₹450-1,200 per child per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Kids' Workshops & Camps by Svadhyaya](https://mytribe.in/svadhyayalearningspace/kids-workshops-camps) · ₹700-8,000 per child per camp (estimate) · Svadhyaya - [Kids' STEM & Robotics Workshops by Sapna Sparkz](https://mytribe.in/sapnasparkz/kids-stem-robotics-workshops) · ₹900-1,800 per 2-hour workshop per child (estimate) · Sapna Book House - [Kids' Workshops & Classes by ThinkBox](https://mytribe.in/thinkboxblore/kids-workshops-classes) · ₹250-600 per child per session (estimate) · ThinkBox children's Library - [Holiday Camps & Themed Workshops by Milk Teeth Activity Center](https://mytribe.in/milkteeth_theactivitycenter/holiday-camps-themed-workshops) · ₹350-1,200 per child per session (estimate) · Milk Teeth Activity Center - [Art Workshops & Camps by The Artsy Nook](https://mytribe.in/the-artsy-nook/art-workshops-camps) · ₹400-700 per session (estimate) - [Robotics and Electronics Workshops for Kids by Robomations](https://mytribe.in/robomations/robotics-and-electronics-workshops-for-kids) · ₹1,200-4,000 per child per 2-day workshop (estimate) · Bengaluru - [STEM, Coding & Robotics for Kids by MakersLoft](https://mytribe.in/makersloft_kol/stem-coding-robotics-for-kids) · ₹2,200-4,500 per child per week (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Tinkernauts, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Tinkering%20Workshops%20%26%20Camps%20by%20Tinkernauts.)
