Hi! I'm a dad with a soldering iron, a 3D printer and a long-standing inability to do anything the easy way. My son is four. He has big ideas, strong opinions about colour, and no patience for anything that doesn't actually work.
This site is our build log. Every project starts with him — a drawing, a question, a birthday wish — and ends with something real we made together. Along the way we mix art (crayons, paint, cardboard) with technology (microcontrollers, code, printers) and both of us learn something.
The rules of the workshop
- The kid gets real jobs. Designing, colouring, choosing, pressing the big button, testing. Not just watching.
- Safety beats speed. Hot glue, soldering and sharp things are dad jobs. Every post calls out what's what.
- Overengineering is allowed. Encouraged, even. But we always write down what the simple version would have been.
- Finished beats perfect. A four-year-old's attention span is the best project manager there is.
Say hi
Building something similar with your own kid? I'd love to see it.
