Join educator and author Ryan Jenkins for a hands-on tinkering workshop to build fun creations and explore science, art and engineering. Together we’ll get inspired to look at familiar supplies in new and unexpected ways, think with our hands, troubleshoot tricky constructions, and sharpen our problem-solving skills.

In this workshop we’ll explore balancing toys that tip and wobble on a single point. Each participant will build their own kinetic sculpture using recycled materials, motors, lights and (of course) googly eyes. We’ll learn how to use hot-glue guns, wire snippers and round nose pliers as we construct our contraptions.

Through this activity we’ll get a sense of the possibilities for tinkering at home, in school and informal learning environments. The workshop will take place from 10:00-12:00 and participants will have the opportunity to take home their projects at the end of the session so that they can keep building and tinkering with the prototypes. The session is recommended for kids 7 years old and up with a parent or caregiver.
