RGTC will Return for Summer 2021!
The Renegade Girls Tinkering Club is thrilled to announce our return with a 3-week OUTDOOR camp pod program for summer 2021! San Francisco has not yet announced the guidelines for day camp requirements this coming summer, so Renegades is moving forward with planning based on last year's requirement of 3 consecutive weeks in stable cohorts of 12 students or less.
To keep camp as safe as possible for our Renegades and Renegade Leaders, we are retooling our beloved hands-on experience. After a long year trapped inside, we it will be refreshing to don our masks, stay distanced, and enjoy the great outdoors and all our beautiful city has to offer. Renegade day campers in 2021 will do an outdoor morning project utilizing, celebrating, or exploring the great outdoors, then spend the afternoon hiking, discussing the natural world, and practicing their scientific observation skills.
As an added bonus, all campers will receive a complementary copy of The Renegade Spy Project, the first book in our new fiction novel series. Scroll down to learn more.

Our Next Big Adventure!
The Renegades go FICTIONAL!
The Renegade Girls Tinkering Club is excited to announce the next chapter in our quest to foster girls’ love of STEM: The Renegade Girls Tinkering Club fiction books! COVID may have locked us in our rooms, but that doesn’t mean the tinkering has to stop.
Terri Selting David, co-founder, curriculum writer, and chief of content development at Renegades presents the first book in her new series aimed at 8-12 year old girls who love STEM and making things.
The Renegade Girls Tinkering Club series follows four clever girls as they enter middle school and try to figure out their futures while tinkering up some fun. The reader can build inventions alongside Wren, Ivy, Amber, and Kammie in this book about finding your path in the chaos of middle school, with the help of a little science and engineering. As the Renegades invent their way into and out of trouble, the instructions for the inventions are illustrated graphic-novel style in the chapters so readers can build them too, as they learn about amazing women from history, science and engineering concepts, and even get inspired to use STEM processes, such as the Engineering Design Process, to help them solve their own daily challenges.
Learn more about the first book: The Renegade Spy Project and the sequel: Renegade Style. Available almost everywhere books are sold.

COVID-19 Announcement
The safety of our Renegades is our number one priority. RGTC is dedicated to finding the safest way to continue to offer hands-on Making and Tinkering. Any camps offered will meet or exceed all government regulations.
Welcome to the club...
Build! Explore! Solve! Tinker!
Please support our STEM community during these times of precaution due to COVID-19. While classes are cancelled during the next weeks, we would like to pay our staff that has been furloughed, and to build a fund for our program at Cesar Chavez Elementary School. The Chavez program is entirely donation-based and supports teachers with school day STEM programming.
The Renegade Girls Tinkering Club runs exciting summer camps and after school programs in San Francisco for 5-11 year old children. Our programs bring science, technology, engineering and math concepts through fun hands-on projects. We founded the Renegade Girls Tinkering Club to inspire girls to love tinkering and making! In 2017, we added coed classes to meet the needs of families and help our sons become allies. In 2019, we converted to 501(c)(3) to reach more girls and underrepresented minorities. Come join our renegades!

What campers are saying
"We have tried many different camps in the city, and I can honestly say my daughter likes the Renegade Girls Tinkering camp the best. From the engaging projects to the wonderful teachers, my daughter was very excited about attending everyday. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended." - EK, parent |
"Vicky and her group of teachers are awesome! My 6 year old loved their Veterans Day camp, and we'll definitely be booking another one. She came home with a few great inventions and the girls were super welcoming to her." - JL, parent |
