3. INTRODUCTION
• I am a Maker by heart and IT engineer by profession – working as Software
Engineer for last 14 years
• My passion is to learn new technology and use this technology in day to day life
• In spare time I like to learn / work with micro-controllers, micro-processors,
3D Printer , new software tools etc.And I also run small maker space called
Heramb MakerLab.
• Worked for 6 months with NGOVigyan Ashram for helping to spread 3D
printing technology to schools and also helped to create training program on
‘How to build DIY Lab’
• Helped Agastya Foundation to create their Maker Space at Kuppum campus

7. WHY WE NEED MORE MAKER SPACES ?
विज्ञानात प्रयोगाांचा महिमा (जयांत नारळीकर) :
वैज्ञानिक सुबत्ता भास्कराचार्ाांिंतर भारतात िांदली िाही. गणित आणि ववज्ञाि र्ात िवीि गोषटींची भर पडली, तर तर्ांचा
ववकास होतो. ववज्ञािाच्र्ा बाबतीत असं म्हिता र्ेईल, की प्रार्ोगगक ववज्ञािात वाढ ि के ल्र्ािं असं घडलं.
Narayana Murthy on Innovations in India :
We have to inculcate courage to use common sense, courage to be bold in walking the untrodden path,
courage not to be afraid of failing, curiosity and the ability to do independent and critical thinking in children.
That will eventually help them attempt path-breaking inventions.
‘The Hungry Spirit’ by Charles Handy :

12. IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF MAKER SPACES
• Giving kids the opportunity to learn about what they love.
• Use of ‘Problem  Solution’ approach :Think maker space as Innovation hub of your school and
through challenges to members
• Multi-disciplinary : Don’t restrict to specific curriculum
• Application of design thinking :Apply all design thinking procedures while creating solution
• Focus on hands on learning :Ask students to do it by their own hands
• Adoption to Open source philosophy (Need for growth of maker space as well as community) : Keep
lab open for community for at least one day
• Give service to school/community if you want to showcase its ROI
• Entrepreneurship development : See if your students can sell the product coming out of Maker Lab
