Programs
Learn more about Thinkery’s in-person and online programming for audiences of all ages!
Some Thinkery programming is currently suspended due to COVID-19.
Thinkery’s foremost priority is the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and the greater Austin community. While we are able to open for regular General Admission sessions, many of our separately-ticketed programs and events remain suspended indefinitely.
We look forward to the resumption of our regular programming once it is safe to do so. In the meantime, you can enjoy these popular Thinkery programs in-person or online.

C.R.E.A.T.E. (Collaboration to Realize Equity and Teach Engineering) is designed to inspire and prepare a diverse pipeline of future engineers through afterschool engineering education, youth development programming, and family engagement.
