Gever Tulley: Life lessons through tinkering

Tinkering School is a unique educational environment where children are trusted with tools and materials to explore and create without a set curriculum or tests. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing kids to discover how to make things and solve problems through trial and error. The experience fosters creativity, collaboration, and resilience, as children learn to embrace failure and celebrate success. Projects often start with simple sketches and evolve through building and problem-solving, with all materials available for use. The program culminates in impressive creations, such as a rollercoaster built by seven-year-olds.
