Tinkering School, founded in 2005 by Gever Tulley, is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, CA. They believe in the capabilities of children and provide them with real tools to solve real problems, fostering a hands-on learning experience that encourages collaboration, resilience, and creativity.
Through their after-school programs, summer day camps, and weekend workshops, Tinkering School offers opportunities for kids to tinker, make mistakes, learn from them, and develop problem-solving skills. Their philosophy revolves around the belief that children are more capable than they realize, and by giving them the tools and freedom to explore, they can unleash their full potential.
