Engage elementary and middle school learners in unprecedented ways and prepare career-ready innovators with STEAM Project-based Learning. With TinkRworks, students learn and apply STEAM concepts to showcase their creativity with personalized STEAM projects. Our hands-on curriculum guides students through the engineering design process—equipping them with essential knowledge and skills.

Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators

Bringing STEAM Project-based Learning to your supplemental, afterschool, or summer program has never been simpler! TinkRworks’ versatile STEAM project kits adapt seamlessly to any program and are designed for use across multiple grade levels. Customize your STEAM experience by mixing and matching our make-and-take and reusable kits to meet your budget and academic goals.

Make-and-Take STEAM Projects: Certain TinkRworks projects are consumable—meaning students receive their very own project kit that they can customize and take home to keep. This means the learning adventure doesn’t end in the classroom. Students can continue to engage with STEAM and bring their ideas to life long after the curriculum is complete.

Reusable STEAM Project Kits: Many TinkRworks projects are designed with reusability in mind.  Our reusable kits offer the same innovative, comprehensive STEAM instruction as our make-and-take STEAM projects, but they are not limited to one-time use. Reusable STEAM projects can be can implemented with students, disassembled, and used again with another group of students throughout the day or school year—creating endless opportunities to reinforce key concepts.

Explore the Engineering Design Process with Hands-on STEAM Project Kits

TinkRworks is much more than a robot in a box. Our diverse catalog of STEAM projects empowers students to immerse themselves in the engineering design process as they assemble, wire, decorate, and code innovative creations. From plant science and digital music to art, robotics, and beyond, students explore a wide range of subjects. They don’t just code lights and sounds—they uncover the science behind these concepts, deepening their understanding through engaging, real-world applications.

Everything You Need for Seamless STEAM Project Assembly

Student project kit
No need to hunt for parts. Each STEAM project kit includes all the materials that students need for project assembly and STEAM curriculum activities, including:

  • Hardware
  • Electronics
  • Manipulatives
  • Materials for hands-on activities
Facilitators are provided with “how-to assemble” videos and classroom toolkits that include a reusable set of tools and materials.

Bring Learning to Life with Hands-On STEAM Coding Experiences

Computer science is a core element in every TinkRworks project. Through our TinkRworks Portal, students access an intuitive, drag-and-drop, block-based programming environment, empowering them to learn coding skills across multiple levels. This platform makes coding approachable for beginners while enabling deeper exploration for advanced learners, reinforcing key concepts and problem-solving techniques fundamental to STEAM education.

What Our Partners Are Saying​

"TinkRworks is an equalizer in my high poverty district. With more than 50% English learners, our students gravitate to the program because they can engage deeply with the concepts. Students love the hands-on and coding aspects but they’re also developing science vocabulary and communication skills."

JON BARICOVICH | Director of Assessment at Cook County/Summit District 104

“We started using TinkRworks as an enrichment program after school with a small group. The students loved it to so much we now have more than 500 students across the grades using it for 10-15 weeks every year."

JACLYN FARLEY | K-8 STEM Teacher at St. Isaac Jocques

"One of the important things to admire about TinkRworks is the collaboration we see between students who would not, under the usual circumstances, get together to solve problems."

REBECCA LARATTA | Director of Teaching & Learning at Gower District 62
