How I`d love to go into school on Monday, and set up a "Tinkering Classroom", where the kids can come in and build whatever they`d like to from whatever is there! I`d have electrical tools, bits of wood, nails, hammers ...all sorts. There would be a few rules around the tools and they could go for it. Saw a clip on the TED site and man, how i agree with that dude...sorry, forgotten his name...but what he has done....set up a tinkering school. Kids made a roller coaster and even a swing bridge out of plastic shopping bags! Great co-operation, problem solving, life do I hear you say.
