Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL)
The ATL fosters curiosity, maker skills and a problem-solving mindset. Students explore electronics, robotics, 3D printing and prototyping through guided and student-led projects.
Equipment
Makerspace tools & kits
An inventory of tools and safe-use procedures for student projects.
Programs
Workshops & clubs
Structured modules, clubs and mentorship to build design and engineering skills.
Partnerships
Industry & academia
Collaborations that bring real-world context and mentorship.
About the ATL
The Atal Tinkering Lab is an innovation-focused makerspace that empowers students to tinker, prototype and iterate. Our aim is to nurture design thinking, computational thinking and interdisciplinary problem-solving through project-based experiences.
Students work on mentored projects, participate in workshops, and use ATL resources to translate ideas into tangible prototypes — building both technical skills and an entrepreneurial mindset.
What we offer
ATL Highlights
Hands-on infrastructure, structured learning and community opportunities to support student innovation.
Programs & Mentorship
Workshops, guided modules, club mentorship and teacher-led design sprints help learners take ideas from concept to working prototype.
Community & Partnerships
Partnerships with universities, industry and alumni provide mentorship, guest workshops and project sponsorships for student teams.
Competitions & Showcases
Inter-school challenges, fairs and exhibition days give students the opportunity to present work, compete and learn from peers.
Equipment
Tools & Safety
ATL is equipped with makerspace essentials — 3D printers, laser cutters (where applicable), soldering stations, microcontroller kits, CNC routers and CAD stations. All equipment is operated under teacher supervision and safety protocols.
Fabrication
3D printing, laser cutting & manual fabrication tools
for rapid prototyping.
Electronics & Controls
Microcontrollers, sensors and breadboarding kits for
circuit-based projects.
Design & Software
CAD workstations, simulation tools and versioned project
repositories.
Programs
Clubs, Workshops & Mentorship
We run tiered programs for beginners through advanced makers. Offerings include introductory electronics, robotics bootcamps, design sprints, hackathons and project incubators. Teachers and partner mentors support student teams and provide structured rubrics for assessment.
Intro to Making
Safety, basics of tools and guided mini-projects.
Advanced Projects
Multi-term, mentor-led projects that may feed into
competitions.
Entrepreneurship & Outreach
Support for productization and community-facing
showcases.
Outcomes
Student Outcomes & Showcases
Students complete portfolios of projects, participate in inter-school events and develop skills in design, troubleshooting and presentation.
Project Portfolios
Documented projects that demonstrate growth across
concepts and tools.
Competitions
Teams may compete at regional and national maker events
and science fairs.
Safety
Training & Responsible Use
Safety is central to ATL operations. All students complete mandatory safety modules and supervised tool training prior to independent use. Staff maintain checklists and compliance records.
Mandatory Training
Tool-specific induction and safety sign-off for each
student.
Supervision & Scheduling
Staffed sessions ensure proper usage and reduce risk
during fabrication.
Partnerships
Industry, Academia & Community
Our ATL engages with local universities, tech companies and alumni to bring expertise, sponsorship and real-world project briefs to students.
University Partners
Guest lectures, lab visits and research collaborations.
Industry Mentors
Project mentoring, evaluation and sandboxed internships.
Community Outreach
Public showcases and school-run maker camps.
