Tinker Academy MINI

A four day, hands-on maker and STEM experience for students entering grades 6–9. The program packs coding, 3-D printing, robotics, and design challenges into an inspiring, collaborative setting. A $50 registration fee helps cover materials so that participants can explore state-of-the-art tools and bring creative ideas to life despite the loss of funding for our longer academy. Join peers from across Sonoma County, build new skills, and discover the fun of tinkering—all in one engaging summer week.
