Catalyst Tinkering - Build Big at Home
*On Hiatus Till Fall 2021
"My son has really loved the class. It's been the highlight of his week and the one thing he wants to do. Virtual school has been really hard for him so thank you for being a bright spot!" (Parent of an online Catalyst tinkerer)
Join us for some hands-on tinkering fun as we build with the best-selling Catalyst Kits as well as booster packs including LEDs and other electronics, cardboard and assorted crafting materials! Tinkerers will have a chance to stretch their imagination and learn new skills as we tackle a bunch of exciting, open ended design challenges together
Scholarships are available!
Tinkering School is committed to making our programs available to everyone. We offer scholarships on a pay-what-you-can basis while funds last. Please don’t hesitate to email us at info@tinkeringschool.com to inquire about how to apply!
Every session has a new mystery project theme!
It's always a surprise and so we never know what projects our campers will dream up! Maybe a motorized ice-cream truck? A scorpion that launches cannon balls with its tail? Or maybe an arcade game complete with a working claw!
