Maker's Asylum (https://www.makersasylum.com/) is a community maker space in India with locations in Mumbai and Delhi. The MAP4 is a badge project to introduce members to the joy of Soldering and blinky LEDs. We got kits built in May 2016 just in time for Mitch Altman's visit to our maker space where he conducted a "Learn to Solder" workshop.


Since then, we have used this kit design for many more such workshops. We also designed some fidget spinner designs based around the badge, which can be found in the ~/fabricate folder on the Github repo.

Here's a video of the Badge
