Becoming a skilled maker at only 10!

What’s the project?

Kyra, a 10 year-old Indian kid, is already a skilled maker. First, she discovered electronics by using Scratch on Arduino. At that very moment, she started being interested in making things on her own. She learnt about robotics by participating to the First Lego League and she had to do the challenge Animal Allies (It is a challenge based on a real world problem where kids aged 9-16 try to think like engineers to build a solution).

She also won the Scientific Temper award for her project at school. (The project involved LEDs and conductive tape to make a functioning and aesthetic circuit).

How does she interact with the workshop?

Kyra is coming every week to the lab to work on her several projects. Her parents encourage her to follow her passion and she can use all the tools with the help of the lab’s team.

What is next?

Kyra’s future project will be to face air pollution in India.
