Item Description

Welcome to TinkerTech


Kids learn so much through hands-on maker and coding projects but it can be hard to find the right projects quickly, let alone gather all the materials you need in one place.

I set up TinkerTech to do the hard work for you, creating fun maker projects and coding challenges that get children creating and inventing quickly. These projects are delivered through our classes in Marin County, California, and across the States through a program that is licensed out to schools and after-care providers. In 2017 alone, over 10,000 children enjoyed our classes. 

TinkerTech projects are created by a team of maker educators working in schools and maker spaces. We use a mix of simple maker materials (card, copper tape and leds) and edtech tools and love to tell the stories behind the companies making these tools, often start-ups themselves. Look around this website and you'll find interviews with makers, maker educators, and inventors from the Bay Area who share why they feel that learning to make, code and invent is one of the best way to inspire the innovators of tomorrow.

Where does the name TinkerTech from? Listening to our audience of educators, parents and students! We're all about encouraging creativity through curiosity and tinkering summarises that process perfectly. Technologyis what we all use to help us make and share those great projects. Exploring how to use these tools is fun. Knowing how they are built and understanding how they work is the key to creating the tools of the future. In an increasingly connected world, this is incredibly empowering. Check out the new TinkerTech logo - the two Ts are for Tinker and Tech; the big and small gears are to symbolize the many partnerships we seek to create through our community classes - between teacher and student, and between this non-profit and the schools, families and enrichment programs it works with. The strength is in the combination!
