The Art of Tinkering


We are concluding our 5th grade year and there are many things that we are working on. My students are completing their Genius Hour projects, Beta testing the student creating tool for Frolyc, and understanding the art of tinkering!

I began reading The Art of Tinkering by Karen Wilkinson and Mike Petrich. We have center work for science and this week we will begin a "tinkering" center. I have old computers, remotes, felt, parts to a circuit, and more. My goal is to collect parts as we go. My goal is that my students will post comments and knew understandings as well.




Check out this video: Hack This Book!
What an inspiration!
