Austin, Texas
With the help of AV, Thinkery is helping children learn the “why” and “how” of science. Visitors can challenge their skills and imaginations by building, inventing and sharing.
Take a look with Ford AV as we explore the Thinkery in Austin, Texas. The Thinkery is Austin’s newest place for kids of all ages to experience, learn, and play. See how they use AV technology to make exhibits immersive and interactive.
