A brief overview of the hands-on workshops covered here — spanning 3D printing, laser cutting, soldering, robotics, and prototyping. Sessions range from quick 90-minute intros to full 5-hour deep dives, depending on what the group needs.
RC Soccer
Build an RC car, add some personality and take the build to the battle. Rocket League style,
About the workshop: A workshop where participants builds an RC car from scratch with the provided kits. Fist assemble the basic RC car with the components like Arduino UNO, motor driver shield, DC motors, Macannum wheels, battery, HM10 bluetooth module. Then soldering the remote using the PCB and the components provided like joystick module, esp32c3 supermini, TP4056 BMS, battery etc. Later, participants gets to add some personality by making body for the RC car, something that's eyecatching or helps manoeuvre the ball.
Once the RC car is fully built, take it to the arena for a soccer match with other participants!
Participants gets to build a RC car drom scratch, work in teams through the building phase, gets to showcase their imagination while building the body. After the build, experience a competitive match by using the same RC car build. Click here to go back to the top
NFC Tags
Design and fabricate custom NFC Tags for smoother and faster networking,
About the workshop: A workshop where participants builds their own custom NFC tag. The idea is that while networking, poeple exchange their linkedin profile, business website. Traditionally how this happens is that one person spelling out their username and the other noting it down, misspelling and misundersanding most of the time!
Soulution? Storing the profile URL or business website inside a NFC sticker and embedding the NFC sticker inside a 3D printed model. While networking, just tap the NFC tag onto someone's phone and the profile URL will be broadcasted onto their phone directing them straight to their profile.
Participants gets to learn 3D modelling, slicing software - how to convert their 3D model into a gcode file which and basics of 3D printing. Click here to go back to the top
Smart Hyderation System
A device that helps you stay hyderated. Set your water intake goal for the day and the device will keep trak of how much water you are consuming and show statistics and give indication based on whether or not you are keeping up with your goal.
About the workshop: A workshop where participants gets a complete overview on prototyping. Problem statement > Plausible solution > Defining functionality > Breadbboard prototyping > SOldering on PCB > Assembling components onto 3D printed case > Flashing firmware > Final testing and troubleshooting.
The prototype being a smart hyderation system. The device is basically and attachment for your water bottle. An attachement onto which you can put your bottle. The device can be calibrated as per user's bottle so the device can measure the water level with calibration as reference. In the device, user can set daily intake goal, it gives different color LED indication on whether or not user is keeping up with their goal and an OLED displaying live stats.

Desk Nameplate
A custom designed Desk nameplate, designed and fabricated using laser cutting,
About the workshop: A workshop where participants designs their custom Desk Nameplate, add a tagline that describes them and fabricate using laser cutter. Participants gets to explore 2D modelling, toolpath generating software - converting 2D modelling into gcode file and basics of laser cutting. Click here to go back to the top
Smart Dim Light
A smart light PCB, that automatically turns on on-board LED in dark ambience. Basically a smart dim light,
About the workshop:
A workshop where participants gets to make their own Smart Dim Light. Key learning from the workshop is to understand what is soldering and how you see its usage
in day-to-day life products, how a prorotype goes from
breadboard setup to a soldered PCB. Participants gets to learn the basics of soldering - techniques of soldering its DOs and DONTs and get to make a Smart Dim light
by soldering components like LDR, LED, IRFZ44N, Resistors, Type-c breakout board and connecting the components with wires onto zero PCB.
