Tinkering Afterschool & State of the Exploratorium
The Tinkering Afterschool program was invited by the organizers of the recent virtual State of the Exploratorium gala event (shoutout to the wonderful folks of the Institutional Advancement team) to share some insights and information about the program, its values, and how our practices have shifted to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and how we continue to build around equity and inclusion. Our aim in collaborating with them to bring more visibility to our work and the program partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco was to share our reflections and successes of these last couple years with shelter-in-place, and to provide a view into our program formats that we hope resonate and connect with the field’s increasing efforts to think around identity and the role it plays in learning and creativity.
