About

We’re here because kids are born curious. 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.

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.
