This summer, San Franciscans can send their kids to tinkering camp — a week-long sleep-over camp for young inventors where they collaborate on hardware hacking projects under expert tutelage. Man, I would have loved to go to this camp when I was about 13 — much more fun than ceramics camp!
The Tinkering School offers an exploratory curriculum designed to help kids – ages 7 to 17 – learn how to build things. By providing a collaborative environment in which to explore basic and advanced building techniques and principles, we strive to create a school where we all learn by fooling around. All activities are hands-on, supervised, and at least partly improvisational.
Grand schemes, wild ideas, crazy notions, and intuitive leaps of imagination are, of course, encouraged and fertilized.
