Transforming Ideas into Innovation
❝ Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity – not a threat.❞
– Steve JobsThe Tinkering Lab serves as a dynamic platform aimed at enhancing mechanical innovation. It enables students and professionals to transition from theoretical learning to practical engineering applications, shifting from the ‘Think Space’ to the ‘Tinker Space.’ Here, concepts are transformed into tangible mechanical prototypes, products, and even patents through rigorous hands-on experimentation and problem-solving. This lab represents a culture that emphasizes the integration of design, prototyping, and iterative testing, fostering mechanical creativity and practical engineering skills.
Established in association with TA201 (Academic Lab), the 4-i Lab, Central Workshop, Design Program, and SIIC, the Tinkering Lab offers a comprehensive environment for development.
The lab is built for individuals eager to explore new concepts, tackle real-world challenges, and engage in product creation.
It empowers users to transition from theoretical design to prototype, gaining valuable practical experience in the process.
Encourages the transformation of raw ideas into patentable products, nurturing entrepreneurial thinking.
Open to students, researchers, and professionals across various fields, the Tinkering Lab supports interdisciplinary innovation.
