Gever Tulley teaches life lessons through tinkering
Poziom:
Temat: Edukacja
This is the exact moment
that I started creating something called Tinkering School.
Tinkering School is a place where kids can pick up sticks
and hammers and other dangerous objects,
and be trusted.
Trusted not to hurt themselves,
and trusted not to hurt others.
Tinkering School doesn't follow a set curriculum.
And there are no tests.
We're not trying to teach anybody any specific thing.
When the kids arrive
they're confronted with lots of stuff,
wood and nails and rope and wheels,
and lots of tools, real tools.
It's a six-day immersive experience for the kids.
And within that context, we can offer the kids time.
Something that seems in short supply
in their over-scheduled lives.
Our goal is to ensure that they leave
with a better sense of how to make things
than when they arrived,
and the deep internal realization
that you can figure things out by fooling around.
Nothing ever turns out as planned ... ever.
(Laughter)
And the kids soon learn
that all projects go awry --
(Laughter)
and become at ease with the idea that every step
in a project is a step closer
to sweet success,
or gleeful calamity.
We start from doodles and sketches.
And sometimes we make real plans.
And sometimes we just start building.
Building is at the heart of the experience.
Hands on, deeply immersed
and fully committed to the problem at hand.
Robin and I, acting as collaborators,
keep the landscape of the projects
tilted towards completion.
Success is in the doing.
And failures are celebrated and analyzed.
Problems become puzzles
and obstacles disappear.
When faced with particularly difficult
setbacks or complexities,
a really interesting behavior emerges: decoration.
(Laughter)
Decoration of the unfinished project
is a kind of conceptual incubation.
From these interludes come deep insights
and amazing new approaches to solving the problems
that had them frustrated just moments before.
All materials are available for use.
Even those mundane, hateful, plastic grocery bags
can become a bridge
stronger than anyone imagined.
And the things that they build
amaze even themselves.

Gever Tulley: A rollercoaster built by seven-year-olds.
Video: Yay!
(Applause)
Gever Tulley: Thank you. It's been a great pleasure.
(Applause)
