We are HERE to Help
All Take-Home TinkerKits have instructions. But, TinkerSpace has always been about communal making experiences. Everyone at TinkerSpace works on their own project while receiving guidance from TinkerSpace staff and inspiration from other people’s work, With our Virtual Open TinkerTime, we’ve taken this idea to the Zoom platform. Set up your computer (or other Zoom capable device) at a work table, gather your supplies, and make with a community. TinkerSpace staff and other participants of the TinkerTime are available to offer advice and guidance and you can be inspired by what others are making. See the registration form for our upcoming Virtual Open TinkerTimes.
