TinkRworks is excited to announce significant growth in its partnerships with schools and districts across the nation, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s mission to transform STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. Learn more about this milestone in an article from Education Writers Association (EWA) here.
A Nationwide Shift Toward Hands-On, Project-based Learning
The demand for high-quality, interactive STEAM education has never been greater, and TinkRworks is stepping up to meet this challenge. Our partnership with schools and districts nationwide reflects a growing shift toward STEAM Project-based Learning, where students don’t just read about science and technology—they engage with it directly through creative, hands-on projects.
These partnerships are empowering students to tackle real-world problems, develop critical thinking skills, and spark their creativity through projects like building a Smart Lamp, composing with TinkRsynth music kits, or exploring plant science with Pampered Plant. This dynamic approach encourages innovation, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of STEAM concepts.
What Our Partners Are Saying About the Impact
The success of TinkRworks’ collaborations is best expressed through the voices of our educational partners. From sparking creativity in science labs to fostering classroom environments where both teachers and students thrive, TinkRworks is transforming the way STEAM is taught. Here’s what some of our partners are saying:
“TinkRworks helped me ‘tear up the recipe book’ used by most elementary science lab teachers and develop a more dynamic, engaging, and even surprising experience.”
— Lindsay Mosshammer, Science Teacher, Frances Xavier Warde School, Chicago, IL
“From an administrator’s point of view, the biggest success is that teachers enjoy using TinkRworks in their classrooms. They see their students engaged in something rigorous and relevant and that leads to a classroom that is well-managed. Students want to participate. You can’t say that about a lot of programs.”
— Aaron Esper, Ph.D., Director of CTE and Special Projects, The Career Academy Network of Public Schools, South Bend, IN
These STEAM success stories highlight the impact that TinkRworks’ resources are having on both students and educators. Our approach is not just another robot in a box; it transforms learning experiences, fostering creativity and critical thinking while empowering students to become the next generation of innovators.
Why This Matters: A Future-Ready Education
At TinkRworks, we know that the future of education is hands-on, personalized, and project-based. With our expanding network of school and district partners, we are setting the stage for a future where all students have the opportunity to engage with STEAM subjects in exciting and meaningful ways. Our growing partnerships are a testament to the increasing recognition of the importance of STEAM education in preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
