JUGAAR ADDA and ENGINEERING FOR KIDS
Soon after the formula student competition I began working full time at Jugaar Adda (JA) developing teaching aids and conducting different workshops.
Jugaar Adda (JA) was one of the first makerspaces in Islamabad, offering a variety of tools and equipment and the expertise needed to facilitate aspiring makers.
HERE IS A VIDEO OF ME EXPLAINING SOMETHING I MADE ---------------->
During this time period I also spent time working with Engineering for Kids (EFK) teaching STEM classes in different schools. Another focus of ours at JA was creating a Solar Powered Plastic decomposition plant. Though we prototyped many types of reflector strategies none were capable of producing the output required for a successful full scale model.
At EFK I also made social media posts as well as developed LEGO™ models for children as well as creating instruction manuals in Lego Digital Designer!
At EFK, I planned and hosted an exciting competition among the schools in my city. Given the tight schedule and the goal to save the company money on a one-time-use setup, I took a hands-on approach to create the necessary components. I fabricated the slope and bin entirely by hand, which involved cutting, bending, and drilling all the holes myself. This was necessary because a plastic cutting CNC machine was not available in my city at the time. Despite the challenges, the end result was a functional and cost-effective setup for the competition!
What the vex IQ challange is supposed to look like!
Hyper Performance Racing
The onset of COVID-19 brought about the end of our makerspace and its activities, school closures also meant that I could not teach or participate in stem related activities so naturally therefore my attention was diverted towards other prospects. That's when I started to work at HPR where I spent the next year or so. There were many projects that were done at HPR more than I could fit on this website that's for sure but this race truck was close to my heart so I decided to feature it on the website. It went for many races after I built it and even survived a few accidents (roll cage built by me as well)(followed FIA spec).
Air Intake pipe
This is actually the first ever time that I TIG welded some stainless steel pipe before, I had only done MS sheets or pipes pictured above^.
Eventually my TIG Welds starter to get a bit better 😂
Catalytic Converter Material Removal and Rewelding
Custom SS straight pipe for CLS 550
Custom laser cut fuel tank mount
Despite everything that I learned while at my time at HPR there was always a need for me to automate my processes and get machines to do the work because they can do a much cleaner and precise job. So when the opportunity arose I did what I do best and remade the fuel tank mount for the new Tacoma race truck that was being prepared there at the time.
Custom paddle shifters for rally car
(Chevrolet Silverado)
3D printed shifters
The shifters were 3D printed and glued to the multimedia buttons of the steering wheel. The vehicle had a column shifter with a button on it for selecting gears; the button was not a conventional type but instead had a resistance based switching.
Matching Shifter resistance
I disconnected the connections to the multimedia controls but had to add a custom resistance pairs to match the OEM button.
ECU BENCH TUNE
Although I have forgotten what particular car this belonged to this was my first experience bench tuning an ECU using JTAG (Joint Test Action Group). Basically JTAG is an industry standard to program/reprogram the SOC after manufacturing to debug without requiring direct access to the chip
