This week Maile is going to camp at the Tinkering School – a really cool camp that Christine found. Over the course of the week, the kids build a solution to a problem using all sorts of tools. This week they are trying to move a big box across a bridge (that they are also going to construct) and onto a boat.
From their web site: “We can promise this: we make big art, we build big things and we go amazing places.” – Pretty cool!
Maile has been pretty excited about using the tools (she said she was scared of the electric saw at first, but today she started using it). It’s a mix-aged camp as well and I think the kids really get a kick out of the “size” of the projects they are making.
Maile in front of the game plan that the kids have been working out...
Maile showed me the crane that she's been working on - this is the base. The kids have been cutting the wood and drilling it themselves.
Can’t wait to see where they end up by Friday!
