Tinkering at Home

Tinkering at Home

Tinkering’s active approach to learning about the world lends itself perfectly to be extended to the home environment, where there are many opportunities to practice and perfect the ability to think with your hands. This collection of activities consists of invitations and resources for tinkering in your own home. We are developing ways in which tinkering can be done with materials and tools that you already have in your house, or that can easily be sourced, as well as ways to complexify as you practice more. We want this to become a way to build community. Read below to find out how to participate.
