My Maker Space
What do you do when you don't have access to a dedicated maker space?
You build one yourself.
Inspired by the SoLa Tech & Innovation Center, I transformed a spare room in my home into a fully functional tech workspace. I designed and built a custom wooden workbench to support my engineering projects—from 3D printing and soldering to solar-powered prototyping. This space became the foundation for my hands-on learning and innovation.
Context
As someone who regularly works on tech projects, assignments, and hands-on builds through programs like SoLa, I realized how hard it is to get things done without a dedicated space.
I was constantly bouncing between locations and struggling with limited access to tools and equipment. That’s when I decided to turn a spare room in my home into a personal maker space.
It’s not just a workspace, it’s a foundation for my creativity, productivity, and innovation.

Circular Saw
Used for straight, efficient cuts through plywood and lumber.
Air Compressor
Used to blow off sawdust, clean surfaces, and maintain a clear workspace.
Safety Glasses
Protected my eyes from sawdust and debris during cutting and sanding.
Measuring Tape
Ensured precise measurements for accurate cuts and proper desk dimensions.
Triangle Tool
Helped mark perfect 90° angles and maintain alignment during assembly.
Wood Glue
Provided strong, durable bonds between wooden surfaces for added stability.
