The DIYguru Project works to promote maker culture and hands-on learning in India through mentorship programs, annual events, online courses and career guidance. It focuses on areas like automotive/robotics/drones/3D printing/IoT and works with schools and colleges to help students develop projects and skills. The number of students engaged and careers supported has grown each year. The goal is to improve practical and research skills to address the lack of employability among Indian engineers.

4. MAKING
PROJECTS?
The DIYguru Project works based on learning-through-doing
(active learning) in a social environment, creating informal,
networked, peer-led, and shared learning motivated by fun
and self-fulfilment. We have staff members called DIY Mentors
who get trained at our summer DIYguru Academy. We then
allot one mentor to each partnered high school and College.
They then work with students teaching, providing coaching,
counseling about their growth, and applying maker-culture
change techniques to build projects. The DIY Mentors begin
with a listening tour of students, faculty, and community
members and then help in crafting one project for the school
or college. Upon doing so, they build a DIY Team of students
called DIYguru Fellows. DIYguru Fellows subsequently develop
and launch their own DIYguru Projects – individual projects
that the students develop over the period of a year or less. DIY
Fellows are also charged with a responsibility of serving as “DIY
Mentors” for their peers, changing school/College culture
through a step-by-step collaboration among the community to
build a variety of projects, serving as leaders within the school /
college community.
Over time, DIYguru Mentors work with hundreds of students
to engage them in the process of helping them to discover a
big idea, believe in themselves and the team, and turn their
dream, real. As they do so, DIYguru helps to promote their
projects by organising national events & Competitions.
We work with schools and
colleges to unlock the
limitless potential of every
young student in this
country.
