Tinker X

An Open, Self-Directed Programme for Learning Coding and Making

Tinker X is an open, self-directed learning programme for coding and engineering enrichment, blending instruction and independent study. We give you the tools you need to learn, and support you as you learn, whether that’s following a curriculum from us or online, or working on a self-initiated project.

Future-proofing ourselves in an Industry 4.0 world requires taking initiative and risks to develop competencies such as critical and inventive thinking, grit and problem solving skills. A self-directed programme facilitates that.

Our centre is open for consultation hours on Saturdays from 10am-4pm. Come by to get individualised expert instruction, guidance, and mentorship. Our makerspace, with a 3D printer, laser cutter, circuit printer, electronics library and various kits, is also available for use.

Extensive Materials

We provide a wide range of course materials to cater to learners of all levels and interests: intro coding, Arduino, data science, games programming, mobile app development, micro:bit and much more. We’ve run these courses with hundreds of students, and they’re all available to members.

We tap on high-quality online content and can recommend content that is most suited for your current needs, providing support whenever necessary. We promise a well-rounded and engaging learning journey with us.

Maker Library

Don’t have the space (or you’re just too sensible) to put a laser cutter at home? No problem! We have the equipment you need to make, tinker: a reference library of books and electronics modules, laser cutter, vacuum former, 3D printer, circuit printer, soldering station, miter saw, and much more.

We have an extensive library of kits and robots you can tinker and play with. These include the Arduino CTC 101 toolbox, Hummingbird kit, Pi-Top, Turing Tumble, Marty the Robot, drones, littleBits kits, Sphero, Dash, and more.

Community

It can get lonely learning on your own. Even if you do not talk to anyone else here at Tinker X, it is still inspirational and motivational to join a community of like-minded people who just want to see what happens when you connect this to that and spend hours tinkering with code and electronics.

We love to see people learn and grow. To that end, we offer Tinker X scholarships to enthusiastic and passionate young students, so that they can contribute back to the community with their new skills and knowledge.

Tinker X Scholars

Scholarship Opportunity for Students Who Demonstrate Passion for Technology

Computer science and technology studies have been treated mostly as enrichment, leading to inequity in access.

In an effort to play our part in making technology education more equitable and accessible, we are offering Tinker X scholarships for students. The scholarships will come in the form of highly subsidised membership to students who demonstrate passion for technology but are unable to access expert help, mentors or tools on their own.

To apply for these scholarships, students should submit a portfolio of their past tech-related work. We are looking for effort and passion, rather than results. Students would also need to demonstrate financial need.

In return, our Tinker X scholars will give back to the community.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know would be interested in, please contact us at hello@tinkercademy.com for more information or to apply. We are accepting applications now!
