Thinkery changes the way families in Austin learn and play. But there’s even more to our story than that! Thinkery is a philanthropic organization dedicated to providing accessible, inspiring STEAM learning experiences to ALL Central Texas children…and we rely on supporters like YOU to make it happen!
- Thinkery’s Open Door Initiative provides accessible experiences to underserved and underrepresented communities, regardless of means. This includes free or discounted museum admission, need-based financial assistance for Camps and Preschool, discounted Field Trips for Title I schools, and more.
- Thinkery is a professional development and networking resource for local educators and childcare providers.
- Thinkery provides special programs dedicated to early learners and resources for new parents. We help researchers study how parents and play can guide children to learn in new ways.
- Thinkery is a vital part of — and a trusted hub for — the entire Austin community. We partner with hundreds of local nonprofits and community organizations each year on a variety of initiatives and events.
