WORKSHOP: The Art of Tinkering – A Constructionist Approach

Explore the intersection of science, art and technology in this active workshop session. We’ll make circuit-based projects together exploring “The Art of Tinkering” for the first half, and then work as educators and designers of such experiences for the second half, looking closely at the dimensions of learning for this approach. The session leaders are from the Exploratorium in San Francisco and have worked together to design, prototype and facilitate creative making and tinkering experiences for all ages in both formal and informal learning environments. Prior experience with circuits or tinkering is welcomed but not required.

Advance registration is required for all workshops. Registrations are now open to all attendees to Reimagining the Museum. Participation will be limited to 30 participants. The workshop will be repeated on Thursday.
