hands-on summer fun with tinkertech
TinkerTech STEM summer camps are for students ages 8 to 18. Students can explore a dynamic program of coding, robotics, prototyping and fun hands-on tinkering challenges. Camps are each one-week long and take place from mid-June to mid-August in Marin County schools, libraries and community spaces. Outside summer camps, TinkerTech runs a popular program of after-school enrichment. Our program started in 2014 in Larkspur and has grown to include programs we run with schools and non-profits across the Bay Area.
TinkerTech believes in the power of tinkering with digital and material tools as an excellent way for students to express their creativity and build confidence in their own ideas.
TinkerTech Summer Camps provide:
Small class sizes with a teacher to student ratio of 1:8
A program that welcomes beginners and experienced tinkerers alike
Experienced instructors, many of whom teach year-round in our after-school enrichment program
A good mix of hands-on tinkering projects, programming and group challenges
A competitively priced camp with scholarships for ages 11-18
TinkerTech Campers can expect to:
Explore STEM in a relaxed setting and make friends with similar interests
Build on their existing STEM skills and explore these through fun project-based learning
Avoid summer slide and get mindset ready for a new school year
Learn entrepreneurship skills that help them with college and career readiness
