Tinkering Class: Cardboard Vending Machine Challenge
In Mrs. Hudson’s Tinkering Class, students showcased their creativity by constructing vending machines out of cardboard. Tinkering is best defined as purposeful play that encourages creativity, exploration, and discovery in children. A tinker is "one who experiments with materials and ideas to fully understand their capabilities and iterates on their learning to develop improved solutions to problems." This hands-on approach emphasizes learning from failures and allows unstructured time for exploration and invention. You can see these inventive creations in action by watching this video.
