CRAFTY ONE

IF YOU HAVE run out of ideas on how to keep your children occupied during the summer vacations, Maker’s Loft has a host of fascinating new activities that go beyond the scope of crafts and storytelling to teach them new skills. Designed as a “makers space”, the studio is equipped to involve children in skill intensive activities like wood working, natural dyeing, 3D printing, robotics and more.

It goes without saying that many of these activities can be quite fascinating for adults and the workshops are open for them too. “We believe in facilitating learning through self discovery and collaboration with other children and our trained mentors. Most of the activities are related to the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects and art. They help develop an ability to think and solve problems innovatively,” says founder and director Megha Bhutoria.

From teenagers and IIT graduates participating in robotics competition to 7-year-olds designing their own video games instead of just losing to each other, Makers Loft promises to not just provide your children with something to do but leaves them with something to be proud of.
