| + | 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.

| + | [[Category:Shops]] |
| − | : 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 entrepreneurial 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
| |
