Tinker Camp is a hands-on maker and STEM-focused organization offering creative programs for youth interested in building, tinkering, and exploring technology.
Each summer, Tinker Camp runs camps and workshops for school-age children, with programming designed for a range of ages and experience levels.
Tinker Camp is based in the St. Johns neighborhood of North Portland.
In We’re Gettin’ the Band Back Together, tinkers will design and build their own playable musical instruments using found materials, cardboard, scrap wood, wires, and salvaged electronics. From canjos and diddley bows to cardboard cajóns, license-plate guitars, and microphones built from reclaimed parts, every instrument begins as raw material and ends as something that actually makes sound.
