Frequently asked questions

What is Tinker Shed?

Tinker Shed is a hands-on learning studio where children learn by building real projects with real tools. Instead of screens and worksheets, students work with wood, tools, and design ideas to create meaningful projects they can proudly take home.

We focus on confidence, creativity, and real-world skills - not just theory.

What age group is this suitable for?

Our programs are designed for children aged 8 to 16 years, with age-appropriate batches. Younger learners start with tool basics and guided builds, while older students take on more complex design and construction challenges.

Is it safe for children to use tools?

Absolutely. Safety is our first priority.

Children are trained step-by-step in tool handling before beginning any project. Sessions are closely supervised, and we provide all necessary safety gear. We build skills gradually so students feel confident and secure.

What will my child actually learn?

At Tinker Shed, your child will learn:

  • How to safely use real tools
  • Measurement and spatial skills
  • Design thinking and problem-solving
  • Patience and project completion
  • Confidence through hands-on achievement

Most importantly, they learn that they are capable of building things on their own.

Does my child need prior experience?

Not at all. Beginners are welcome.

We teach everything from the basics - how to hold tools, measure correctly, and follow design plans. Every child progresses at their own pace.

Do you offer programs for schools?

Yes. We partner with schools to offer:

  • Field visits to our studio
  • On-campus workshops
  • Curriculum-aligned design modules
  • Maker lab setup support

Our programs support experiential and project-based learning frameworks.

Do you run holiday workshops or summer camps?

Yes. We run themed holiday workshops and summer programs that combine creativity, teamwork, and skill-building in a fun, structured environment.

Do you offer adult or team-building workshops?
