Ideas Meet Makers - Maker Event hosted at BOSCH DIY SQUARE

Hello There,



The BMOSC hosted a maker day event at BOSCH DIY SQUARE, of which I was the in charge.

The goal of the event was to bring together the DIY enthusiast in the city of Bangalore,meet with each other,
brainstorm on the ideas, share the knowledge and most importantly, make something.

Even though, the total number of people who turned was not that great, as there were only five of us along with the host Deepak Mulajkar, which makes the tally as  six, the quality of the event is something which can be talked about.

This time, we decided that we will not go with slide deck,speakers or any talk sessions, as our goal was to promote the culture of MAKING. And I think, we were quite successful in this, even though, the full day of making was not achieved, but still, more than 50% of the time allotted for the event went into Making.

The positive point which I will take from this event was that, first and foremost, my own personality has shaped up a bit, I have learned quite a few number of things, I met wonderful people, and trust me, the world is filled with good people out there, who are really willing to help others, and they don't differentiate whether one knows English language ,how do they dress, or what their age. There main motive was to keep the spirit of the MAKER CULTURE alive, and all 6 of us just did that.

People brought and showcased robots made out of Lego blocks, which has a Raspberry PI and another microcontroller attached to it. We played with lot of other electronics times, hooked up motors, built an alarm with a speaker attached to it which irritates everyone and other stuff.

These are the pics of the event:

I would like to thanks Ms Kavita Arora, who is the founder and CEO  of THE BMOSC, Mr  Manoj Varma,Mr Bharadwaaj Ramarkishnan for their valuable contribution to curate this event, Mr Deepak Muljakar for providing us the wonderful venue,BOSCH DIY Square, Mr JayTirth Ahya, for making the poster of this event. 


I will conclude by saying that even though the total amount of MAKERS who turned up on this day was quite low, but overall, I am really satisfied that I did organize this event and and everyone had fun.

With this, I will end.

Thanks everyone and Have a nice day.
