Happy March! We are gearing up for another fun-filled summer of hands-on learning! We will be hosting our Maker Tales camps this summer, but at a NEW LOCATION. This year we are offering 3 weeks at the Magellan International School. We hope that your little makers will be able to join us for reading, tinkering, and creating!

Spring 2017 has Sprung!

2/25/2017

It's been a busy year!  We've had some fun-filled Parent Nights Out and birthday parties! In between all the making we've been busy around the city... EdExchange participation with The Thinkery, Austin Family Magazine's Summer Camp Fair, and Round Rock's Enrichment Fair.

As we prepare for our Summer Camps for 2017, we'v been reflecting on last year's successes.  Parents and campers were happy to be part of our makerspace movement! So many great projects were created... faerie houses out of twigs, leaves, and nuts; superhero capes put together with a sewing machine, imagination and all kinds of materials; stop motion videos; comics based on favorite reads;  automata; and more!

Now we're ready for Summer 2017!  Our first session is already full but we still have space for a few more mini-makers in session 2!

Until then you can visit us at SxCreate over Spring Break and this year's Maker Faire!  ...dates and times coming soon!

Maker Tales is under way! We've been having so much fun with all this making! Our campers have done so much! ...team-building games, comic strips, sewing, constructing automata, stop motion, independent tinker time and more! If you still need summer camps for kiddos, you'll want them to be a part of all the activity at Maker Tales with Tinker Teachers!
