Faridabad · Ages 8–16 · Weekend cohorts

Build.
Break.
Rebuild.

The Sparkyard is a hands-on maker space where kids work with real tools on real projects — electronics, wood, robotics. They leave with something they made, not a worksheet.

The idea

Why The Sparkyard

01

Real tools.

Soldering irons, saws, sensors, code. Not kits that snap together in five minutes — projects that fight back a little.

02

Every build is a mission.

Each project starts as a story with a problem only a builder can solve. Kids build because the story needs it.

03

Safe to fail.

School trains kids for the one right answer. Here they build, break, and rebuild — the iteration muscle that actually matters.

The missions

Level 1 · Tinker

The Lamp That
Learned to Talk

in which one small light says eight different things

Level 2

The Monsoon
Sentry

in which a machine learns to taste rain

Level 3

The Tank That
Learned to Shout

in which a water tank finally gets a voice

Level 4 · Engineer

The Bluetooth
Car

a machine that obeys your phone — and only your phone

Four levels, from first spark to full builds kids design themselves.

The format

How a cohort works

  1. 1

    Join a weekend cohort.

    Small groups, fixed slot, same crew every week.

  2. 2

    Build the mission.

    New story, new build, real tools — finished in-session.

  3. 3

    Take it home.

    Every kid leaves with the thing they built. Demo night closes each cohort.

The first pilot cohort starts soon. A handful of seats. Founding families get first seats in the flagship space.

Ask about the pilot

“The Sparkyard started with my own kids. There was nowhere near us where they could actually make things — and fail at them safely. So I’m building it.”

Sunil Pappu, Founder

Questions

What parents ask

What ages?

8–16, grouped by level, not just age.

Is it safe?

Real tools with real supervision: small groups, a safety briefing every session, and age-gated tool access.

Does my child need experience?

No. Level 1 assumes zero background; the ladder takes them from first circuit to builds they design themselves.

What do they take home?

The build itself, every time. Working alarm, lamp, car — theirs.

Where are you?

Faridabad. The pilot venue is being finalised; the flagship space opens after.
