Why Tinker?
Our goal for our tinkerers is to have them deeply engaged in the experience and displaying personal motivation and investment in the activities.
How Do We Tinker?
TinkerSpace provides opportunities children might not typically encounter or are too messy to allow at home.
Admission and Membership
$15 per child age 4-16
$5 per accompanying siblings age 2-3
Accompanying adults and children under 2 are free.
Note: Admission for one child, of any age, is $15.
Admission includes access to all exhibits in the playspace as well as the TinkerStudio (as space is available). While not required, you may reserve a spot in the TinkerStudio at no additional charge. All children must be supervised by an adult guardian while in TinkerSpace. Children under 14 may only enter the TinkerStudio with an adult guardian giving direct supervision.
Standard art supplies (recycled materials, paper, cardboard, glue, pens, tools, etc.) are available for use in the TinkerStudio at no additional charge. If special supplies are needed (motors, LED lights, copper tape, etc) they may be purchased on-site.
Membership to TinkerSpace is available on a per child basis (with discounts for additional children within the same family). Membership allows for unlimited admission to TinkerSpace for 12 months, discounts on classes and workshops offered through TinkerSpace, special programs available only to members, and the ability to store long-term projects between visits. (This space is limited in size and duration. Please talk to a TinkerSpace Educator for more information.)
Classes and Workshops
Learn how to use electronics, simple machines, and other technology as a tool in your creativity pack. Workshops are offered in a small group setting. Parents are welcome, even encouraged to stay and help their children, however, we ask that tinkerers\' creative abilities be respected and that they are allowed to make their projects their own.
Students under the age of 8 must have a parent/guardian remain on the premises for the duration of each class. (Stand Alone Workshops that are not part of a class require parent supervision for all children under 10). Students enrolled in multiple classes with no more than a 15-minute gap between them may stay at TinkerSpace between activities. Otherwise, students must be picked up promptly at the end of class.
