What is Tinkerfest?

This one-day event brings together tinkerers, makers, artists, DIYers, and creatives from diverse backgrounds for activities that celebrate the curious, creative, and innovative spirit in everyone. Tinkerfest features hands-on activities to promote tinkering and making created by local tinkerers, the Amazeum team, and regional and national museums and science centers. This event brings together craftspeople, educators, artists, engineers, scientists, and technologists from diverse backgrounds to interact with families, promote creativity and curiosity, and support a community of makers.
