Questions parents ask

My child has never used tools. Is that OK?

Yes. No experience needed. Day 1 of both programmes starts with safety and the basics, and every tool is introduced step by step.

Is it safe?

Groups are small (max 6 kids in Junior Makers, max 8 in Maker Lab). Goggles go on and work is clamped before every cut, and there's a safety check every morning. Maker Lab wiring is low voltage only, never mains. Mains sockets and breakers are shown on a demo board only.

Do Junior Makers get lunch?

No. Junior Makers runs 9:30am – 12:30pm, so there's no lunch. Please collect your child at 12:30pm.

My child is 12, turning 13 soon. Which one?

We go by age on the first day, 15 Dec. 12 and under on 15 Dec: Junior Makers. 13 or older on 15 Dec: Maker Lab.

Can adults really join the Maker Lab?

Yes. Teens (13+) and adults build side by side in the same group. Come on your own, or come with your teen.

What happens from 2pm to 4pm?

It's optional. 2pm to 4pm is a self-monitored stay-and-tinker session, not a class: makers work on their own ideas while our instructors are in the workshop. Stay, or head home after lunch. Under-18s may go home on their own.

Can Junior Makers stay and tinker in the afternoon too?

No, sorry. Younger makers need supervision, and in the afternoon our instructors are busy teaching. Junior Makers ends at 12:30pm.

What is the fix-it-yourself hour?

Every morning starts with one hour on a real home repair: walls and anchors, safe electricals, plumbing, aircon care, furniture repair, painting, the toilet cistern, and doors and locks. Then the day's build puts that skill to use.

Can we book week 2 only?

No. Week 2 builds on the tools and skills from week 1, so it's only available as "Weeks 1 + 2".

Is lunch provided?

Yes, for the Maker Lab, every day. Tell us about allergies or dietary needs when you sign up.

What should we bring?

Closed-toe shoes (required), a mask (encouraged, it can get dusty), and a water bottle. There's a refill station in the workshop. And bring creativity and the courage to test ideas!

Is there a sibling discount?

Yes. RM100 off for every extra person, any age, in either programme: 2 people save RM100, 3 save RM200. Booking the other programme separately? Use the same email or phone and RM100 comes off each person on that booking.

When does sign-up close?

10 Dec, so our instructors have time to prepare. Places are limited, and are confirmed once you've paid.

What if my child can't come?

Fees are non-refundable. You can transfer the place to someone else: WhatsApp us on +60 17-552 2381.

How do I pay?

Online, through Billplz, when you sign up. You can book several people in one go.
