Tech Tinker Lab

For tweens ages 8 to 12 years old.

About the Program

Curious about how everyday technology works? In this hands‑on program, tweens will take apart common household items to explore what’s inside and how the pieces fit together. Participants will safely dismantle objects like kettles, remote controls, VCRs, and other devices, learning about their inner workings and imagining creative new uses for the parts. Perfect for kids who love to tinker, build, and ask “how does that work?”

For tweens ages 8 to 12 years old. Please register each child attending separately. 

Please note, a caregiver must remain in the library while children under 10 years of age attend a program. 

We kindly remind you that registrations will be removed if the registered person does not meet the program’s specified age requirements.
