Thinkery’s mission is to create innovative learning experiences that equip and inspire the next generation of creative problem solvers. We can’t do it without you—especially now.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges at every level of American society, and its impact will reverberate throughout our community for a long time.

In this hour of fear and uncertainty, we are grateful to have heard from so many of you, sharing your best wishes and appreciation for our staff and educators, and looking forward to the day when you can visit Thinkery again. Believe me, no one looks forward to that day more than we do!

Thinkery is a 501(c)(3) non-profit museum dedicated to in-person learning and activity. A significant portion of our operating budget is generated through admissions, ticket sales, and program fees, so an extended closure represents a particularly serious financial challenge to our organization.

The health and safety of our staff, our guests, and the entire Austin community remain our foremost consideration. But the longer our doors are closed, the more difficult it will be for us to continue inspiring the next generation of creative problem solvers and bringing unique, STEAM-based learning opportunities to families throughout Central Texas.

If you are able to contribute, please consider making a donation today. Now more than ever, we need your help to navigate this time of uncertainty at Thinkery.

Together, I am confident that our organization—and our community—will find a way through these strange and difficult times. We are keeping you, your families, friends and loved ones in our thoughts.

Thank you,

Patricia Young Brown
Chief Executive Officer, Thinkery
