Tinkering Projects

Willing to apply tinkering but lacking of inspirations and guidance? This resource will provide you with concrete examples, ideas and precise instructions to bring tinkering to your classroom straight on!

Tinkering is a multifaceted activity. In this open source booklet The Exploratorium® has collected more than 50 examples to inspire and give indications to teachers (and parents, grandparents, neighbours, kids!) to imagine and create various experiments and tests. This resource is extremely useful to deepen the concrete implications that STEM can have in our everyday life, building skills and technical abilities in a funny and collaborative way.
