What are they doing?

At Nomadic Littles Tinkering Club, kids unleash their creativity to build an array of imaginative inventions, transforming salvaged parts from dismantled appliances and engines into functional wonders. Using Lego bricks, motors, pulleys, batteries, and gears, they can craft everything from simple lever-powered catapults and pulley-driven elevators to elaborate steampunk automatons with spinning gears or futuristic robots that buzz and move on command. Whether it's a whimsical gear-driven clock, a battery-operated vehicle, or a pulley-based crane, we encourage wild ideas that teach core mechanics like force, motion, and energy—turning every project into a personalized triumph of innovation!

At Nomadic Littles Tinkering Club, young makers embark on exhilarating hands-on journeys, dismantling everyday appliances and rebuilding engines to uncover the secrets of mechanics. Armed with Lego, motors, pulleys, batteries, and gears, they invent their own wild machines—from whimsical steampunk contraptions and sleek futuristic gadgets to clever simple machines that demonstrate the power of levers, pulleys, and more. We champion boundless imagination, encouraging kids to dream up and create anything their hearts desire, turning curiosity into confident innovation while mastering real-world engineering principles.

At Nomadic Littles Tinkering Club, safety is our top priority, ensuring every session is a worry-free adventure for kids and parents alike. We exclusively use child-friendly hand tools—like screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches—that are lightweight, ergonomic, and designed with rounded edges to minimize any risk of injury. No power tools or sharp implements are ever involved, and all activities are carefully structured under constant adult supervision in small groups, with safety goggles provided and emergency protocols in place. This purposeful setup allows young makers to explore, create, and learn confidently, turning potential hazards into pure, injury-free fun!

At Nomadic Littles Tinkering Club, booking is a breeze—simply use our easy online form to reserve spots for flexible 1- to 2-hour sessions or sign up for our unlimited monthly club membership. We prioritize freedom and fun, with open hours throughout the day (like afterschool slots from 3-6 PM or homeschool windows from 10 AM-12 PM) that aren't locked into rigid start and end times. Kids can drop in whenever inspiration strikes, dive into their projects at their own pace, and head out when they're ready, making every visit a personalized adventure in creativity and discovery!
