Every Friday, dozens of people head to Utah’s STEM Action Center in South Salt Lake for a special event called Tinker Time.
Tami Goetz, the director of the STEM Action Center, said Tinker Time came about a year ago when she was sitting in her office and three little girls started banging on the glass outside the MakerSpace. The MakerSpace is a 2,000 square-foot workspace with a laser cutter, 3D printers, sewing machines, an embroidery machine, a heat press, a CNC mill, soldering irons, a sublimation printer, a large format printer, a table saw, a miter saw, welding equipment and other hand tools.
And with that, Tinker Time was officially launched. Every Friday from noon until 8 p.m., Tinker Time is open to the public. Due to high demand recently, visitors are required to sign up for 2-hour time slots on the website ahead of time. Becca Robison, the Innovation Hub’s manager, is passionate about helping people work on anything they can dream up.
