#07 - Vaibhav Chhabra - Make. Break. Create.

In Episode 4, we explore the maker movement with Vaibhav &amp; Richa from Maker's Asylum (a key player in the movement). Maker's Asylum is a learning playground where you can get your hands dirty, make, break, create. When India went into the biggest ever national lockdown on March 23rd, 2020, they decided to self isolate at their space &amp; keep making! Maker's Asylum led a community-powered initiative called the M-19 initiative that saw the creation of over 1 million face shields in 49 days to help frontline workers at a time of need &amp; severe PPE shortages. Their meaningful work was celebrated widely &amp; is the perfect case study for how a jugaad mindset can save lives. To Vaibhav &amp; Richa, jugaad is making faster, better &amp; cheaper tools. Jugaad is an indomitable spirit, open to anyone. Learn why. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jugaad-community/message

Ep 4: Maker's Asylum, Vaibhav Chhabra & Richa Shrivastava 

Vaibhav Chhabra is a mechanical engineer by education but a carpenter by passion. A graduate from Boston University, Vaibhav spent the first 2 years of his career at EyeNetra, a startup from MIT Media Labs, building portable Virtual Reality based eye diagnostic devices. While working with the rural community in India for his eye diagnostic prototype, Vaibhav founded ‘Makers Asylum.’ Maker’s Asylum is a community space focussed on fostering innovation through hands-on learning. It also provides access to an ecosystem of stakeholders which includes Governments, Businesses, Incubators/Accelerators, Investors and subject matter experts. The space houses various labs that are co-located in order to facilitate prototyping of ideas that are interdisciplinary in nature. Vaibhav essentially coupled his degree with his passion to create the first community Makerspace in India. The key focus of this space is to foster education in areas of sustainability and disability. The flagship program of Maker’s Asylum, STEAM school, running for the last 2 years in collaboration with the French embassy in India, brings together 150 global participants that solve and prototype for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. He also runs a similar program for the differently abled community. Both programs together have resulted in 29 high impact global projects that are in various phases of prototyping. The space has trained over 3000 people in the area of digital fabrication globally. The French President and the government has accredited him as a Young leader in this regard. In his leisure time Vaibhav enjoys making furniture, photography and winning at ping pong.

Questions from the Episode -  What is a maker space? (02:26) What do you mean by a community driven space? (04:40) What prompted you to start makers asylum? (07:24) At what point did you decide to quit your job? (17:13) What convinced you to take this plunge? (18:40) In hindsight, Do you think it was a good decisions to start makers asylum? (21:00) What goes into transforming an idea into a physical product? (22:14) What hold people back from picking up tools and making what they want to make? (24:30) How is makers asylum helping people learn to make what they want to (26:52) What are the biggest challenge in teaching people ? (33:20) Can you share examples of collaborative work at makers asylum? (35:21) Were there moments when you wanted to shut this and go back to your job? (36:50) Does it pinch that you still don’t earn as much as you did 6 years ago from your job? (38:20) How do you guys earn money? How do you support yourself? (39:04) Summary of Takeaways (42:23) 3 big Takeaways from the Episode - The biggest obstacle to making what we want to, is picking up the tools and making it. Very often, Our inability to get out of our comfort zone is worse than any external challenge. May be we are afraid of failing, may-be we are afraid of not knowing how to build but then, you can learn. A maker’s community is defiantly a great place to learn. But learning requires time and effort. We cannot binge watch Netflix and then expect to learn to build something incredible.  You learn Faster when you have a problem to solve – This has been my personal experience in last few months. Curiosity is a great way to learn but if you are like me, very low on curiosity, then a great way to learn something new is to find an interesting problem to solve. When you focus on a great problem, your brain churns its creative juice. You identify your blind spots and fill them. You learn to use tools both physical and digital (and Even Mental Models) but most importantly, You will meet interesting people who will help you, some of whom may become your friends or some, your mentors. Arouse curiosity before offering knowledge – I don’t exactly recall but I once heard on some podcast that great teachers do not teach but reveal, they do not bother about covering syllabus but they uncovers what is hidden, they surprise you. When teaching, Instead of trying to pump knowledge into your students mind, let their curiosity lead them and offer knowledge when throw questions at you. That way they will retain what you offer and also use them
