Tinkering School - summer Camp for apender experimenting

Seeing TED'S chat, which for my inspiration is becoming indispensable, I discover Tinkering School, possibly the summer camp that we had liked going to those that we continue and write this blog.

What do they do in Tinkering School?

Since basically, the children, choose projects and during his stay they construct them.

What can be better for a child to do with your own hands a roller coaster and then throw you for her? Few things, the truth ;-)

Certainly this roller coaster was constructed by 7-year-old children


All this is a work of Gever Tulley, which as he mentions that there is consturido the campamente than to the one that he had liked going.

Here the children and adolescents use all kinds of hardware and gadgetry; of considered dangerous for them.

If you want to see more project images here you have the gallery of Tinkering School

The point of view of Gever Tulley on the education and development of the children, you can see it in another conference TED, in that he speaks about 5 dangerous things that our children should do. Here it includes.

  • To play with fire
  • To take razor
  • To dismantle devices
  • To throw objects

These ideas I already consider them to be a little more controversial.

The conference: "Gever Tulley teaches life lessons across experimenting"

What does all this look like to you?

Hi, I’m Mehul, the author of this blog. For me, learning is a life long adventure. Moreover, learning anything in this era is not impossible: if you will it, you can learn and do anything.

This is how my interest in programming and electronics materialized…
