Institute for Applied Tinkering ("IAT") develops, practices and shares educational methods that challenge and support all children to engage deeply in their learning via real interests and real tools.
San Francisco Brightworks is an innovative school that reimagines education. By taking the best practices from both early childhood education and hands-on, project-based experiential learning, we strive to meet students' needs in a flexible, mixed-age environment that breaks the traditional walls between school and the community outside the classroom. We offer a broad-spectrum learning environment designed to encourage creative capacity, tenacity, and citizenship.
Tinkering School acts as after school, break, and summer programming to encourage creative capacity, tenacity, and citizenship for Brightworks. Tinkering School is a place where children are given abstract, open-ended building projects and problems. Trained to use the tools required for success, they have the freedom to fail and the time to persevere. Trusted with real tools and real supplies, kids are put in an environment where constraints breed creativity and foster problem-solving that will expand into every area of their lives. Kids learn to trust themselves and their curiosity. They develop new skills and vocabulary, their creativity and their ability to persist.
