Classroom

The Classroom at Tinkermill is an evolving space to support multiple purposes with a focus on learning and Tinkermill promotion.

PURPOSE

Early thoughts for 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" bench

- Table-top photography
