Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TinkerMill classroom has reverted to a general purpose space as of July 2020.
: The vision for the classroom at TinkerMill is to become an evolving space to support multiple purposes with a focus on learning, kids programs, and Tinkermill promotion. A proposal is being prepared to begin transforming it into such a place starting in 2019. Input of all kinds is being sought, as are interested, resourceful, and motivated members to help with the planning and execution. Please contact lynne.davis@tinkermill.org for more info or to take part.
 
 
 
=== PURPOSE ===
 
: Early thoughts for adapting the space include:
 
: - A space for younger members of Tinkermill, existing organizations for youth and school groups in the area. The classroom has the potential for kids to experience Tinkermill as a STEAM makerspace and entreprenureal training ground  (e.g. "Junior Achievement" and tech competitions) in a safe and structured environment (and without a parent attached to their hip.)
 
: - A community meeting room for Longmont and surrounding locale. e.g. space rental
 
: - A scaled back facsimile of Tinkermill (mini-shops) or just colorful posters to introduce our capabilities during public and personal tours and member meetings that could help bring into focus the often overwhelming nature of the larger space.
 
: - An area for painting on easels
 
: - An all-purpose room - easily configurable
 
: - Movies, presentations, theatre
 
: - Games
 
: - Public computer (instead of at the front door)
 
: - Building models, hobbies, paper-type crafts, holiday activities (halloween, e.g.)
 
: - Member meetings (of course)
 
: - "U-Fix-It" events
 
: - Table-top photography
 
 
 
=== REVENUE Streams ===
 
: - Classes
 
: -- Projects
 
: -- Theory
 
: - Kids memberships?
 
: - Fund-raisers (holiday, seasonal, etc.) Semi-annual or quarter-annual Make-It events
 
: - Auction at Holiday Make-it Competition - Design challenge between Tinkermill shops to make their version of something - like snowflakes, spoons, mobile art?
 
: - Community events - space rental
