About
TinkerTech offers coding, robotics, and maker programs where students take part in fun maker activities, coding challenges, and hands-on design and engineering challenges. Participants work on projects such as building with electric circuits, programming robots and LEGO bots, using micro:bit, and creating animated worlds, clicker games, and platformers using Scratch. Activities also include machine learning AI, making simple machines, building electric circuits, wiring robots, and other STEM activities.
• Ages: 6–13 years old
TinkerTech’s mission is to teach students the skills they need to create their own project; from building an electric circuit to wiring a robot, the program offers hands-on programming skills to build and progress their technology capabilities. The program partners with recreation departments and schools to deliver coding, robotics, and maker programs for elementary and middle school students. Its teachers are described as passionate about STEM and education, and the curriculum is created by a team of maker educators who use specially curated kits for robotics, LEGO bots, micro:bit, simple maker materials like card, copper tape, and LEDs, along with the latest educational technology tools. Instructors are experienced computer science instructors and a team of motivated and experienced instructors who guide students through open-ended projects and challenges and work as helping guides as students perform STEM activities.
According to one parent, “TinkerTech is my son’s favorite part of the week! This week he told me that he wished TinkerTech was twice a week instead of only once! I think he really loves the opportunity to make things with his hands.” A student shared, “TinkerTech is my favorite class because I can make what I want. I like to build electric vehicles and launchers. I think the class should be longer to give me more time - I want everything we create to be electric!” A program coordinator noted, “The variety of fun materials from cardboards and laser cut wood, to copper tape, and batteries make the child want to experiment, design and assemble. It helps build their curiosity as well as develop their creative confidence and critical thinking. They are so proud of their take-home projects.”
