Pinhead Institute

The Pinhead Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and Smithsonian Affiliate (the first in the state) based in Telluride, Colorado, offering after-school programs and summer camps. Started in 2002 by a local Telluride mother who saw a need for supplemental science education in our community, today they are the only organization to promote and provide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education throughout rural Southwest Colorado in San Miguel, Ouray, Montrose, and Montezuma Counties.
