Our vision for Thinkery is to be a trusted community hub, inspiring lifelong learning for ALL children and families. This is why we feel it is so important to weave DEIA (diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility) into the fabric of who and what Thinkery is.
As part of this ongoing journey, we have been in consultation with our community partners who support trans youth, adults, and allies to listen, learn, and deepen our understanding of the lived experience of trans folks.
We want everyone in our community to not just know but feel and experience that Thinkery is for them.
We recognize, respect, and celebrate all dimensions of gender identities. We see and value trans kids. We are inspired by the love and commitment of their caregivers, teachers, therapists, and advocates. As a place of learning and play, we aim to create a welcoming space where all who seek innovation and playfulness can show up as they are and feel they belong. We are lifelong learners and are committed to exploration, asking questions, and deepening our understanding of the lived experience of trans people. We invite you to join us and review these important resources:

Our world’s future creative problem solvers call Greater Austin, and the beautifully diverse communities that make up this region, home. Thinkery is committed to being a space for ALL who seek innovation and playfulness in their pursuit of learning!
