SCHOOLS & CO-OPS

A book series that teaches problem-solving without adding to your teachers' workload.

Tinkerville is a junior inventors story for ages 8–12. Schools and co-ops use it to introduce entrepreneurship, design thinking, and creative problem-solving through a chapter book kids actually finish. No curriculum platform. No login headaches. Just a book, a free classroom tool, and a program that fits how your group already runs.

WHY SCHOOLS CHOOSE TINKERVILLE

THE LESSON IS HIDDEN INSIDE THE DISASTER

Stanley's failed inventions aren't played for laughs — they're the mechanism. Each catastrophe teaches a real problem-solving concept through narrative, not lecture. Kids absorb design thinking the same way they absorb a good story: without noticing.

LOW PREP FOR TEACHERS

The book does the teaching. Three free printable workbooks (Tinkering with Words, The Invention Challenge, Family Values & Traditions) drop into any block — no training, no platform, no login.

BUILT FOR GROUPS THAT VALUE INDEPENDENCE

No screen time. No gamified apps. No data harvesting from your students. A printed book, a printable worksheet, and a conversation — that's the whole stack.

ROOM TO GROW

Programs that want more can layer in the Junior Inventors Club: monthly invention challenges, family discussion guides, and printable workbooks that extend the book into a semester or full year of work.
