Maker campus · Tejgaon, Dhaka
Orbit Yard workshops turn river systems, sunlight, sound, structures, and spaceflight into things you can test, tune, and take apart. Come curious. We provide tools, materials, and patient guidance.
Programs are fictional previews. Sending an inquiry does not reserve a place or request payment.
Current workshop studio
Every program includes a safety welcome, tool demonstration, protected build time, and a final group reflection. No previous workshop experience is assumed unless noted.
Build a palm-sized rover that can follow a model riverbank, sense an obstacle, and signal a change in water conditions. Teams compare wheel shapes before tuning a simple sensor rule.
Materials: Recycled plastic, low-voltage motors, cork wheels, LEDs, and reusable sensor boards.
You will practise: Iteration, basic circuits, sensor logic, and evidence-led design.
Compose a cyanotype with local plant forms, architectural shadows, and transparent diagrams. Learn how ultraviolet light changes iron salts, then rinse and annotate your deep-blue print.
Materials: Pre-treated cotton paper, botanical samples, acetate shapes, water trays, and aprons.
You will practise: Composition, exposure testing, chemical observation, and visual storytelling.
Study why triangles, curves, and woven joints carry loads differently. Prototype a light shelter span, test it with calibrated weights, and strengthen only where the evidence asks you to.
Materials: Split bamboo, jute cord, paper fasteners, cutting mats, spring scales, and clamps.
You will practise: Structural reasoning, safe cutting, joint design, and load testing.
Turn touch, resistance, and rhythm into an electronic instrument. Breadboard a tiny oscillator, shape its pitch with everyday conductive objects, and perform a one-minute ensemble score.
Materials: Breadboards, speakers, resistors, copper tape, graphite, conductive fabric, and 5V power.
You will practise: Circuit reading, troubleshooting, acoustic play, and collaborative performance.
Assemble a compact temperature and humidity logger, collect a short indoor-outdoor dataset, and decide what your readings can and cannot reveal about a city microclimate.
Materials: Microcontrollers, plug-in sensors, solderless boards, weather shields, and shared laptops.
You will practise: Data logging, calibration, responsible interpretation, and enclosure design.
Design an air-powered paper rocket for a target rather than maximum distance. Families vary fin shape and nose weight, predict a flight path, then compare three launches.
Materials: Paper tubes, card fins, reusable clay, tape, measuring lines, and low-pressure launchers.
You will practise: Prediction, measuring, fair tests, turn-taking, and joyful redesign.
Find your pathway
Not every maker needs the same room, pace, or outcome. Use these four formats as a starting point.
Best for flexible visits and low-pressure experimentation. Arrive within the published window, choose a prompt, and work for roughly 45 to 90 minutes with roaming facilitators.
Best for learning a process from start to finish. A small cohort moves through demonstrations, build stages, testing, and reflection together at a defined start time.
Best for children and adults who want to make side by side. Tasks offer meaningful roles for different ages, with shared tools and no expectation that adults do the difficult parts.
Best for school teams and learning designers. We adapt a studio investigation around group size, curriculum questions, access needs, and post-visit classroom use.
Workshop inquiry
Share a little context and the fictional Orbit Yard team will respond with suitability guidance. This form is for conversation only.
Submitting this preview form does not hold a date, book a workshop, create an account, or take payment. Program dates, capacity, and fees would be confirmed separately.
