Tinkineer’s mission is to create engaging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) maker experiences which delight children while planting the seeds for a future career in engineering. The Marbleocity line introduces children to engineering principles and physics concepts through dynamic model kits that are made of wood in America. Each “marble machine” kit is an engaging lesson that is told through the eyes of a cast of characters (the “Tinkineers”) in graphic novella format. The principles introduced in the comic are then reinforced through the construction of the kit and, finally, brought full circle with real-world examples and applications.
