The Art of Tinkering Show is happening at the Exploratorium June 18 – September 5th! We hope that you'll be able to visit in person, but one of the things we value about tinkering is that it can happen in all different places and spaces. No matter where in the world you are right now, you're invited to create along with us all summer long as we share ideas, invitations, and projects.
We’re experimenting with cardboard! In collaboration with our partners in the Brazilian Creative Learning Network as part of the LEGO Tech & Play project, we’re exploring cardboard as a material to build paths for marbles to travel down. Cardboard is an amazing material that encourages tinkering and embraces mistakes as we design, redesign, and test with it.
