Thinkery is the new and improved Austin Children's Museum, combining fun and education. Thinkery refers to its learning approach as "STEAM," with a focus on science, technology, engineering, art and math within the various exhibits. The new facility is clean and colorful, with interesting and entertaining exhibits such as "Currents," an exhibit that teaches about the connection between water and sound, and "Light Lab," demonstrating the effects of lights and shadows. Due to Thinkery's newness and wide appeal, the museum is generally crowded, though Wednesday afternoons are a bit quieter.
