#Exclusive: Mehar, co-founder and CEO of TinkerHub Foundation from Calicut, Kerala, built a nonprofit spanning 60 Indian campuses with 30,000 members. TinkerHub offers free tech education through community-funded programmes, including Kochi's 24/7 Tinker Space. Emerging from CUSAT college initiatives around 2018, it empowers remote government college students to create rather than consume technology. Mehar shares how peer learning and hands-on projects bridge opportunity gaps. 👉🏼From School Steps to Tech Pioneer Mehar's journey began knowing more about computers than his fourth-standard teacher, thanks to family resources. He devoured Linux books from his uncle and 15-rupee InfoKairali magazines from his grandfather. At CUSAT, volunteering with Mozilla's Maker Party saw first-year students teach ISRO professors. 'People who figure out technology on the go are rare,' Mehar told The Logical Indian. 👉🏼Building TinkerHub's Unique Model TinkerHub rejects formal curricula, MOUs, or grants, growing via peer-sharing: learn and bring a friend. Signature programmes include provocative "Useless Projects" hackathons and the world's largest offline girls' hackathon. Tinker Space hosts 100-150 makers daily, blending AI justice sessions with art-tech experiments like light pollution visualisers. 👉🏼Overcoming Hardship, Eyeing Expansion After leaving Kerala Startup Mission, Mehar faced meal uncertainty but community support sustained him. Now 50-60 members fund operations monthly. Partnerships grow with Ashoka University, Bihar government, and Visvesvaraya Museum. Mehar stays rooted in Kochi, emphasising his "chai maker principle": fundamentals endure tech shifts. A replication workbook nears completion. The Logical Indian's Perspective Mehar proves curiosity and community can democratise tech access amid India's unequal opportunities. TinkerHub embodies social innovation, sharing rare skills for collective futures, not charity. This model fosters harmony through empowered youth building locally. How can we replicate such grassroots tech ecosystems in your community? #TinkerHub #TechForYouth #CommunityLearning #MakerMovement #Kerala

TinkerHub is a nonprofit tech community where one friend invites another to learn and build. #TinkerHub #NonProfitOrganization #MakerCulture #TechForAll #IndiaInnovates thelogicalindian.com/people-of-purp…

@brahma_4u We got @TinkerSpaceHQ in Kerala, there are amazing facilities and host events for professionals and school children. Hope they start more of these spaces.
