TinkerMill's membership continues to grow.   As of 3/21/16 we have 356 active paying members.  This makes us one of the largest makerspaces in the country.   Incredibly, we've done this is less than 3 years in an average sized town in Colorado.  

During virtually any hour of the day, from the busiest times evenings and weekends to deep into the night, people are creating at TinkerMill.  Check it out online via our live video feed at:  http://www.tinkermill.org/live-video-feed.html

The Source, from ExtractCraft, is now available for pre-order!

Lee Sutherland, one of the founders of TinkerMill, thought up The Source, an essential oil extraction smart appliance, back in late 2013.  Scott Converse, the original founder of TinkerMill, heard Lee's description of it and said:  "that could be a very cool product."

And now, it is.

The Source, from ExtractCraft, a company founded at TinkerMill by Lee and Scott, is making it's first product available for pre-sale to the general public.

For a limited time (30 days) you can get it for 50% off.    To learn more, go check out the video at: https://www.extractcraft.com/source-video-page and click the Buy Now button at the top of the page if you want to reserve your own.

Steve and Austin have put together a great product/game invented and built right here at TinkerMill.  They just launched their kickstarter!  Please, go check it out!

To our members: Feel free to reach out to any of us if you have questions, concerns, ideas, or just want to show us something cool.  We're here for you.

Thank you to our Event Organizers Matt S., Karen M., and Chris H., volunteers, TinkerMill members, vendors, musicians, and everyone who came to celebrate with us!
You all made us really happy and we hope that you enjoyed TinkerMill Carnival.
See you at next year's TinkerMill Carnival Celebration!

WHAT: TinkerMill Carnival
WHEN: JULY 4, 2015 Saturday at 4:00pm - 10:00pm
WHERE: Tinkermill - 1840 Delaware Place, Longmont, CO 80501

Come celebrate the 4th of July with the TinkerMill! The carnival will have activities for all ages and interests; ranging from homemade fireworks, flying drone show, llama petting zoo, green screen photo booth, and much more! We are also promoting local makers including local chefs, entrepreneurs, artists and those who tinker with a passion.

Oh, and did we mention we have the best seats in Longmont for the Fireworks show? Yes, Lake side seats directly beneath the exploding fireworks. The reflection makes the show twice as awesome. 

Come for the Carnival, stay for the show! The Carnival is free for all, seating for the show has a meager suggested $5 donation. Whether you know the TinkerMillions or have always wanted to, this will be an amazing day to come see what we're all about.
