The focus at Thinkery is on science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) and has interactive experiences designed to engage learners of all ages. As a former elementary school teacher of 25 years, I am excited to see such a creative community with a passion for lifelong learning and discovery. In order to be more successful in the near future, our students need innovative learning experiences that equip and inspire them to creative problem solvers, and Thinkery is just that! Children learn best when their home, school, and the local community are interconnected and support each other. Thinkery’s exhibits and programs encourage children to solve creative challenges, explore a variety of materials, and to develop new ways to complete unfamiliar projects. It is through these activities that children gain the tools and confidence needed to develop and grow into enthusiastic, creative, lifelong learners and thinkers. Amazingly, Thinkery has numerous programs for infants, toddlers, elementary students, teenagers, parents, and educators. They even have special events that are constantly updated as well as fun STEAM projects to do at home!
