What is Tinkering School?
Gever Tulley founded Tinkering School in 2005 in order to learn how children become competent and to explore the notion that kids can build anything, and through building, learn anything. In 2011 Mary Beth joined 5 other educators and innovators to spend a week with Gever developing a model for Tinkering Schools throughout the US.
Tinkering School/reDiscover Center will provide an environment where children explore hands-on, open-ended problems as catalysts for patient problem solving, adventure and self-directed learning. A 4:1 tinker to adult ratio supports the Tinkering School campers to build projects in a safe environment.
