Gever Tulley created the Tinkering School after a conversation with his son. The school provides materials and lets children explore and build projects without strict plans or goals. The projects often don't turn out as expected, teaching the children about problem-solving and failure. Children are encouraged to keep working on unfinished projects or take breaks and return to projects with new perspectives. The materials are open-ended so children can make many different things, such as plastic bag robots. The goal is to nurture creativity, experimentation and engineering skills through hands-on learning.
