Learning while doing
A little bit about me
Myself Arati Bhosale. I have completed BCA(Bachelor of Computer Applications) from SNDT university Mumbai. My journey began as a computer lab instructor at Vigyan Ashram, where I taught and supported students in using computers and AI tools.
While working in lab, I developed strong interest in practical and hands-on learning. This curiosity gradually led me toward the Fablab environment. Working in fablab helped me connect software knowledge with real world applications. This transition has shaped my approach to teaching and learning.

Final Project
Title:- Smart Tulsimala (Holy Basil) Bead Counting Machine
The Tulsimala(Holi basil stem beads)Making Machine is an automated system designed to simplify and improve the process of counting Tulsi beads while making prayer malas. Traditionally, bead counting is done manually, which can be time-consuming and may lead to counting errors. This machine uses a Xiao ESP32C3 microcontroller, an OLED display, a push button, and a relay-based mechanism to automatically track the number of beads produced. The real-time count is displayed on the OLED screen, ensuring accuracy and reducing manual effort. By automating the counting process, the machine increases productivity, improves reliability, and helps artisans focus on the manufacturing process. This project demonstrates the integration of embedded systems, electronics, programming, and mechanical design to solve a practical problem faced during Tulsi mala production.
