Austin Tinkering School is a place where kids use real tools and real materials to build, create, and learn. Adults serve as collaborators rather than teachers for maximum engagement, interest, enthusiasm, and enjoyment. The original Tinkering School is in California and was founded by Gever Tulley, who we were thrilled to welcome to Austin in March for a whirlwind weekend of workshops, talks, and dinner table conversations in which he gave us his blessing to use the Tinkering School name here in Austin. We are currently building relationships with working artists and artisans here in Austin and are excited about creating opportunities for kids and adults to learn how to work with metal, wood, concrete, ceramics and more in a hands-on and inspiring environment.
