Science Museum planning second Tinkerfest celebration

Science Museum Oklahoma, 2020 Remington Place, is making plans for its second annual Tinkerfest, set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 29.

Museum admission is free during the event, which brings together makers, artists, crafters, engineers and educators as “guest tinkerers.”

Presented by Oklahoma EPSCoR — the Oklahoma Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research — Tinkerfest is a daylong celebration of curiosity and creativity that encompasses the entire museum and grounds. Applications are now open for makers, artists, scientists and hobbyists to host a table at Tinkerfest 2018. They should have a hands-on hobby, project, skill or trade that can be shared with attendees. Individuals or organizations, including nonprofit and for-profit businesses, may apply to have a table at the 2018 event online at www.sciencemuseumok.org/tinkerfest/apply. Applications are due by Aug. 31 and there is no fee to apply or to host a table. Accepted tinkerers provide their own supplies for the event.
