Thinkery’s
Anniversary
Forty Years of Joyful Learning
Over the course of the last four decades, Thinkery has become a leading nonprofit and staple in the Central Texas community for children, families, and educators throughout the region, serving as a STEAM engine to power children’s imagination, creativity, and love of learning.
Since opening in 1983, we have provided joyful learning experiences to more than ONE MILLION Central Texas children and families.
This all started with a spark in 1983
