Tinkering Camp

now build...furniture! besides the week’s project, we give the kids the option to #freebuild for the last 30 min of each day. it gives them a break from the project and another way for their imagination to run wild! tables, stools and a bike ramp got birthed! #tinkering #failgrowrepeat #prssummerprograms #prsfirebirds #nonprofit @ Pacific Ridge School

Happy summer! tinkering camp is proud to offer tinkering again this summer at Pacific Ridge School! Last summer, the kids designed and built a full-scaled clubhouse and marble run for a giant! Hmmm...what are we going to build this summer?!
