Build Contest
Every device you own started the same way: someone imagined it before anyone could build it. This summer, we're closing the gap between the two, bringing together a community of makers, hackers, and creators to move from prompt to prototype. Bring what you've been imagining, let MakerSpace handle the friction, and let's see how fast we can turn words into physical machines.
What is the Build Contest?
Any build qualifies, as long as it's built around your MakerSpace design and the cost stays under ₹20,000 INR. You can prompt MakerSpace to include the specific components you want, rather than using the exact parts it recommends.
