Discoverfest (formerly Tinkerfest)

Discoverfest, held at Science Museum Oklahoma (SMO) in Oklahoma City, allows children and the adults who care for them to experience dozens of fun and exciting activities, such as a car take-apart, blacksmithing, robotics, carpentry, and weaving. The inaugural Tinkerfest was held in October 2017, with more than 7,000 people participating; subsequent events have continued to set attendance records.

“Tinkering is at the core of all learning — it all starts with an idea, and tinkering gives you a chance to turn that idea into a reality. It is discovering how to act on ideas, craft thoughts into actions, collaborate and let imagination run wild,” according to Sherry Marshall, SMO President.

Admission to the museum and all Discoverfest activities is free thanks to the event’s presenting sponsor, Oklahoma NSF EPSCoR.
