Min Zaw Win
Father · Maker · Circus Arts Facilitator · DIY Street Punk
DIY or die. I bring a punk ethos to everything I do: if it's broken, fix it; if it doesn't exist, build it; if the rules don't serve you, make new ones. Growing up in Myanmar, a country of loose parts, shaped me into a lifelong self-directed learner. Through play, making, and practical skills, I hope to inspire the next generation to embrace creativity, take risks, and discover that they, too, can build their own path.
My Approach
DIY or Die
If it's broken, fix it. If it doesn't exist, build it. That's how I've always learned. I don't wait for permission or perfect instructions. I make, I adapt, I fail, and I try again. I want young people to know they can do the same.
Real Tools, Real Trust
Real tools. Real materials. Real trust. Children deserve all three. Give them clear boundaries, honest risk, and the freedom to make with wood, leather, rope, fire, and the land around them. Trust grows through doing.
Creative Rebellion
Punk isn't a style. It's a mindset. Question the rules. Use what others throw away. Make something instead of buying it. Build your own path instead of following someone else's.
