Zero2Maker Lab
A specially designed maker space that enables hands-on learning through projects while remaining affordable. Equipped with a 3D printer, electronic modules, tools, and consumables, the lab provides essential support for the course.
Extended Course
Semester- & year-long immersive learning
20–30 interactive sessions immersing students in the design process — with videos, comic workbooks, mentor training, and the Zero2Maker Lab.
A semester- or year-long course immerses students in the design process through 20–30 interactive sessions. Each session takes a fresh approach, breaking away from traditional teaching methods. Concepts of engineering and design are introduced through engaging videos and an adventure-based comic series. Students then apply their learning in the Zero2Maker Lab, working on hands-on projects under the guidance of trained mentors.
Course Components
How the Extended Course works
Instructional Videos
Engaging, concise videos that introduce topics in a simple, practical way—focusing on sparking students' curiosity rather than deep theoretical lessons.
Comic Workbooks
An adventure-based series that presents engineering concepts from a real-world application perspective. These workbooks also include exercises for students to complete both at home and in class with their mentors.
Mentor Training
Designed for non-STEM teachers, this training equips educators with the technical knowledge and confidence needed to mentor students, making it accessible to anyone interested in becoming a Maker Mentor in schools.
Primary Topics Covered
Design, making, and communication
Physical Design
Think visually, use manual and Computer Aided Design to create 3D Models of physical objects.
Electronic System Design
Learn the basics of circuits and use microcontrollers, and electronic devices to create smart products and toys.
Logic Design
Write programs for microcontroller systems to create magic. Learn logic, syntax, and algorithm through fun projects.
User Centric Design
Leverage Empathy as a tool to identify challenges and learn to ideate to create delightful solutions.
Digital Fabrication
Prototype your ideas into physical products through multiple technical disciplines and digital fabrication tools like 3D printers.
Presentation
Communicate your ideas effectively and build self-confidence as you learn storytelling, movie-making, and pitching skills.
