What Our Partners
Are Saying​

“The program helps students to approach problems and learn how to persist. They learn by making mistakes and problem solving. This is how innovation happens and this is what happens in life.”

AARON ESPER, PH.D.

Director of North Central CTE Cooperative

“I love seeing how my students think through the design process and know that these are problem solving skills they will use all their lives.”

JACLYN FARLEY

K-8 STEM Teacher at St. Isaac Jocques

“I think it’s great that a TinkRworks classroom is not a quiet classroom. To me, this is a huge success. Inquiry-based and project-based learning are all about the conversations and fun students have.”
