Welcome to Thinkatorium: A Unique Non-Profit Experience in North Texas!
Thinkatorium is not your ordinary non-profit. We are a pioneering initiative right here in North Texas that is revolutionizing the way we approach education. Our innovative concept transforms conventional school field trips into captivating STEAM-themed reverse-field trips, all conveniently brought to your doorstep. Say goodbye to the headaches of arranging parent/volunteer ratios and the logistical puzzle of coordinating and financing transportation. With Thinkatorium, the excitement of learning comes directly to your school!
Our primary mission is to ignite young minds through immersive, hands-on activities that spark a lifelong passion for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). By reimagining the traditional field trip model, we not only provide enriching educational experiences but also alleviate the challenges faced by both educators and parents.
Bid farewell to the traditional constraints of field trips. Thinkatorium is here to empower schools to offer meaningful learning encounters without the stress. Our dynamic approach not only captivates students' imaginations but also lightens the load for dedicated teachers and parents while still linking to the TEKS.
At the heart of Thinkatorium's genesis is Kate Van Dellen, an aerospace engineer and esteemed engineering professor at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). With a lifelong passion for flight that began at the age of 13, Kate envisions a world where every child's potential knows no bounds. Thinkatorium was born from this vision - a place where learning converges with excitement, and creativity flourishes without limits.
Join us on an extraordinary journey as we rewrite the story of education.
