Tinkering School Chicago

Tinkering School Chicago provides an environment where children experience hands-on exploration of open-ended problems as catalysts for patient problem solving, adventure and self-directed learning. Using real tools and real materials to solve real problems children experience a unique atmosphere of trust and responsibility. A failure-positive atmosphere puts focus on the process over the end product and encourages children to try new ideas, find inspiration in setbacks and play in the face of adversity. Sliding-scale tuition ensures that the program is available to everyone.
