We are excited to introduce TinkRworks, Apple Montessori’s brand-new enrichment program launching for the 2025–2026 school year for children ages 4+!

TinkRworks brings science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) to life through engaging, hands-on projects designed to spark curiosity and creativity in young learners. Students enrolled in the program at Apple will build, design, tinker, and code, developing important life skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration—all while having fun and bringing their creations home!

We are also looking into other offerings for our younger students, so stay tuned!

How It Works

  • Students explore four unique projects throughout the school year, each with a tech and art component.
  • Projects are hands-on and involve both physical building and digital coding
  • Each child receives their own kit and uses a Chromebook to program their creations
  • At the end of each project, students take their completed work home and can continue learning via the TinkrWorks online platform

*Students must be enrolled in TinkRworks before the listed deadlines. Mid-project enrollments/withdrawals will not be accepted due to the custom kits and preparation required. When a student signs up, they are signed up for the first project they are eligible for and all subsequent projects for the year. The weekly commitment and schedule are two hours per week, which will not take away from classroom learning time. Children must be four years of age or older by the start of each project to participate. TinkRworks is open to full-day enrolled students only. The fee is $155.month from October to May.
