New ideas.New gadgets.New things to build.
I'm an 11-year-old maker who loves turning crazy ideas into real gadgets. From the first sketch to 3D printing, soldering, coding, and the finished gadget — the whole messy process, on camera.

How every gadget happens
Sketch it. Plan it. Build it.
01
Ideation
Crazy idea appears. Sketch it before it escapes.
02
Design
CAD, blueprints, and figuring out what actually fits.
03
Build
Print it, wire it, code it, test it. Repeat until awesome.

FAQ
Questions I actually get
What is Gizmos & Gadgets?+
Gizmos & Gadgets is a YouTube channel run by an 11-year-old maker who turns crazy ideas into real gadgets — showing the entire process from first sketch to 3D printing, coding, soldering, building, and testing the finished product.
Can kids actually build these projects?+
Yes — that is the whole point. Every project is built by a kid, so a kid can build it. Each build log lists the difficulty, the tools needed, and which steps need an adult (soldering and batteries, mostly).
Where do I get the 3D print files and code?+
Each project page lists its files. Free downloads live in the Free Stuff section, and complete build packs (print files + code + wiring diagrams + guides) are coming to the Shop.
I've never built anything. Where should I start?+
Head to the Start Here page. Short version: grab the free Gadget Project Planner, pick the zero-soldering Door Guard build, and watch along on YouTube.
