About Tinkers & Thinkers
Modeled on other Bay Area Maker Faires and a series of "Innovation Nights" at the Pleasant Hill Library, the Tinkers and Thinkers Innovation Faire is a FREE annual event that encourages kids of all ages to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) with a variety of hands-on activities.
Tinkers and Thinkers showcases a diverse array of exhibitors, including local students and educators, as well as pioneering entrepreneurs. From steam-powered printing presses to self-driving shuttles, this event dares us to expand our minds when we follow our curiosity and create together as a community.
