Inspired by her father, Joe Rabideau, and his invention of The Poochie Bowl, tinkrLAB™ founder Melissa Rabideau saw the importance of supporting inventors and encouraging them from a young age. Realizing that there were no other businesses that offered the support young inventors needed, Melissa and her father Joe opened the doors to tinkrLAB in 2014 at the Meridian Mall in Okemos, Michigan. tinkrLAB was founded with the basic principle of experimentation. Melissa feels this philosophy is so important with the youthful generation who often receive a very different message. Many kids feel comfort in waiting until they feel “qualified” to try something new. This hesitancy can sometimes mean you might never try at all. At tinkrLAB, we like to break things and make messes! We have created a safe space for kids to be who they want to be, to experiment and share knowledge and teach their friends!
