What do you need for Makerspace? Many schools have Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL) and colleges have their own makerspace. But if your school or college does not have one, Not to worry. You can have your own makerspace either at school or home. Below is the list of minimal components and tools which let you to establish a makerspace. So Happy Tinkering ! ### Basic Components List | S.No | Components | Quantity | Tentative cost (Rs) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Arduino Uno | 1 | 450 | | 3 | Arduino Uno USB cable | 1 | 50 | | 4 | Breadboard | 1 | 100 | | 5 | Breadboard power supply | 1 | 120 | | 6 | Male to female wire | 40 | 1.5 per wire | | 7 | Male to male wire | 40 | 1.5 per wire | | 8 | Female to female wire | 40 | 1.5 per wire | | 9 | LED (multicolor) | 20 | 1 per led | | 10 | Resistor (470 e, 1 k, 10 k) | 20 Each | 0.5 per resistor | | 11 | 5v Buzzer | 2 | 10 per buzzer | | 12 | 10 k Potentiometer (with Knob) | 2 | 10 per Pot | | 13 | Push to on switches | 10 | 2 per switch | | 14 | RGB Led | 2 | 5 per RGB | | 15 | 9v DC 1 A Adapter | 1 | 100 | ### Basic Tools List | S.No | Tool | Tentative cost (Rs) | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Multimeter | 500 to 2000 | | 3 | Soldering Iron 25 W | 200 to 1000 | | 4 | Sn60Pb40 Flux cored solder wire (60-40 solder wire 20SWG) | 100 per 50 gms | | 5 | Desoldering pump (optional) | 200 | | 6 | Screwdriver set | 200 to 1000 | | 7 | Nose plier | 150 | | 8 | Tweezer set | 200 | | 9 | Stripper | 150 | | 10 | Nipper | 150 | | 11 | Mini Saw with blade | 250 | | 12 | Glue Gun and glue sticks | 500 | | 13 | Fevikwik and fevicol | 100 each | | 14 | Vero PCB | 20 to 120 depending on size | ### Basic Sensors List | S.No | Sensor | Parameter | Tentative cost (Rs) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | DHT 11 /22 | Humidity and Temperature | 120/220 | | 2 | LM 35 | Temperature | 60 | | 3 | Hall A3144 | Hall Effect | 15 onwards | | 4 | BME 680 | Temperature, Humidity, Atmospheric Pressure | 700 | | 5 | BH1750 | Light Intensity | 200 | | 6 | DS182B0 | Temperature | 200 | ### Basic Communication Modules | S.No | Module | Parameter | Tentative cost (Rs) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | ESP-01 | Basic WiFi Module | 170 | | 2 | HC-05 | Bluetooth Module | 350 | | 3 | NRF24l0x | RF Module | 75 to 1000 | | 4 | 433 Mhz Tx and Rx | RF Module | 100 for Tx & 200 for Rx | ### Basic Display Modules | S.No | Module | Parameter | Tentative cost (Rs) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 16x20 or 20x 40 LCD | Liquid Crystal Display | 120/260 | | 2 | 128x64 OLED | Graphic Dispaly | 250 to 400 | | 3 | TFT Touch Screen | Colored Graphic Touch Display | 600 to 5000 | ### Other Physical Computing Boards | S.No | Board | Feature | Tentative cost (Rs) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Node MCU ESP-12E | Development Board with WiFI Module | 350 | | 2 | ESP32 | Dev Board with WiFi and Bluetooth | 350 | | 3 | Raspberry pi | Credit card size computer | 2800 | You can buy these components either from your local market or online stores.

@Susanta_Tanti It will be good if you share some details about your lab. Where is it located, who are part of the lab, and is this lab open to citizens around your place or it is part of a college or school. ---

If you live in a metro, you can also purchase components and tools at local electronic markets. In Mumbai Bhadkamkar Marg, Grant road - formerly Lamington road - is the hub for components. In Delhi Lajpatrai market. In Calcutta Chandni market In Banglore SP Road electronics market In Chennai Ritchie Street. ---

You can also make an IOT Micro Weather Station either using Raspberry Pi or Arduino. Please visit [https://stemgames.metastudio.org/t/invitation-iot-micro-weather-station/93](https://stemgames.metastudio.org/t/invitation-iot-micro-weather-station/93) Some other innovative and interesting projects are building DIY Lab Instruments, We will be posting soon about them.

Nice to know about that you are an incharge of ATL of your school, it boost me to write again. I would like to encourage you , and your students to make an IOT Weather Station and Deploy it at the top of your school building and record the weather data. I have already shared link for it. Building an IOT Micro weather Station will help students to explore and implement the concepts of mathematics and physics, brainstorming on design thinking, reading sensors and doing calibration, making hardware (electronics), 3D designing & 3D printing, writing code (software), Internet of Things (IOT) and analysis of data. Please visit the following link to watch our deployed weather station and dashboard where it is publishing its data: [https://stemgames.metastudio.org/t/iot-micro-weather-station-deployment/520](https://stemgames.metastudio.org/t/iot-micro-weather-station-deployment/520) I hope you will find this project interesting and will look forward for your involvement in the project. For any question, feel free to ask. ---
