About

Tinker Camp seeks to build essential mindsets in children, like resilience, courage and tenacity, so they will be happy and successful in a STEM intense future. We achieve this mission by providing a materials rich environment supporting a narrative-based, open tinkering experience to children ages 8 - 13. Children are encouraged to learn new skills, solve engineering challenges, and achieve success in a supportive, minimally structured space with plenty of tools and materials available to increase STEM skills. Our primary objective is happy, resilient children with the skills and knowledge allowing them to thrive in a STEM future.
