Community Program · Melbourne Coming Soon

Tinker Tech
with Thrive Pathways.

Computers, hardware, and tech in a fun group setting. Learn how things work, build stuff, and hang out with people who are into the same things. Coming soon to Melbourne.

Tech you actually
get to touch.

Tinker Tech is a group program for NDIS participants who are curious about computers and technology. Whether you want to understand how hardware works, learn your way around a computer, try some basic coding, or just hang out with other people who are into tech, this is the group for you.

Sessions are hands-on, practical, and designed to be genuinely interesting. No prior experience needed and no pressure to know anything before you show up.

The program is being developed by our team and is coming soon. Register your interest and we'll reach out when spots open up.
