Build, Repeat.

I'm Basheer, a maker in Kozhikode. I build IoT systems, robots and open tools, then run workshops where students build their own.

How I work

Build

Make the thing: sensors, boards, robots, tools.

Break

Find where it fails and work out why. That's where most of the learning is.
Failure stories are on the way
Repeat

Teach it. Students build it themselves, and their questions shape the next build.
