Design & Innovation Programme

Invent. Design. Build.

At STEAM Labs Bangkok, students don’t just learn about technology—they use it to create it.

Designed for students aged 9–18, our Design & Innovation Programme provides hands-on engineering experiences that combine creativity, design, electronics and advanced manufacturing. From exciting holiday camps for younger students to advanced after-school specialist programmes, every project encourages students to think like engineers, designers and innovators.

Our advanced programmes are delivered in exceptionally small groups, with some specialist classes operating at a 2:1 student-to-instructor ratio, ensuring every student receives personalised guidance from concept through to completion.

Learn by Building

Every programme is centred around real engineering projects that inspire creativity, develop technical skills and encourage students to solve real-world challenges.

Innovation Lab

Transform ideas into reality by designing and building original inventions that combine engineering, electronics and digital fabrication. Students experience the complete product development journey—from concept sketches to fully functioning prototypes.

Lighting & Product Design

Create architectural lighting, illuminated signs, decorative products and functional consumer products using professional CAD software, laser cutting, engraving and 3D printing technologies.

Green Technology

Design and build automated hydroponic systems, smart greenhouses and environmental monitoring projects while learning about sustainability, electronics, sensors and automation.

Robotics & Automation

Develop robotic arms, conveyor systems and automated machines that combine mechanical engineering, electronics and programming to solve practical engineering challenges.

RC Engineering

Design, manufacture and race custom remote-controlled vehicles using CNC-machined components, laser-cut parts and 3D printed assemblies.

Electric Vehicle Engineering

One of our flagship programmes, where students collaborate to design and build full-size electric go-karts while learning chassis design, steering systems, fabrication and power transmission.

Engineering Challenge Series

Students tackle open-ended engineering challenges, designing, prototyping, testing and refining innovative solutions using professional manufacturing equipment.

Inventor's Studio

Our most advanced programme allows students to pursue independent engineering projects with support from experienced mentors, creating impressive portfolios for competitions, scholarships and university applications.

Professional Design & Fabrication Studio

Students learn inside our dedicated Design & Fabrication Studio (Classroom 4)—a purpose-built makerspace equipped with professional engineering and manufacturing technology rarely found in schools.

Here, students experience the complete engineering workflow, from digital design and rapid prototyping to precision manufacturing, electronics, assembly and testing.

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Every project begins with professional CAD software, where students learn to design products, create engineering drawings and prepare files for digital manufacturing using industry-standard workflows.

Students develop the confidence to turn creative ideas into precise engineering designs ready for production.

Electronics, Programming & Embedded Systems

Modern engineering combines mechanics with intelligent electronics. Students integrate hardware into their projects using platforms including:

  • Arduino
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Environmental sensors
  • Motor controllers
  • Wireless communication
  • Automation systems
  • Internet of Things (IoT) technologies

Programming transforms mechanical designs into intelligent systems capable of sensing, responding and automating real-world tasks.

Build Something Extraordinary

Every student creates projects that reflect their own imagination and engineering ability.

Whether building a smart greenhouse, manufacturing a robotic arm, designing an interactive lighting installation, racing a self-built RC vehicle or helping construct a full-size electric go-kart, students gain confidence by solving authentic engineering challenges.

Older students develop professional portfolios showcasing their work for university applications in engineering, architecture, industrial design, product design and technology.

Where Ideas Become Reality

At STEAM Labs Bangkok, students don’t simply learn about engineering—they experience it.

From a nine-year-old creating their first laser-cut invention during a holiday camp to older students designing and manufacturing components for a full-size electric go-kart, every learner develops creativity, resilience, technical confidence and practical engineering skills.

Our mission is to inspire the next generation of engineers, designers, inventors and innovators by giving them access to professional equipment, expert mentorship and the freedom to transform ideas into reality.
