I am working to develop and offer a Tinkering Club for Middle School kids. I want to provide them with an environment where they can be creative and work collaboratively. They can use critical thinking skills to solve problems by designing and testing solutions. They will communicate to one another and to me about their thinking and how they are utilizing their problem-solving skills.
A tinkering club will allow my students the opportunity to apply their creativity to real-life technical problems. This after-school club will allow them to develop a first-hand understanding of how to use math, science, and engineering to create results-oriented outcomes with items such as Cylinders, batteries, electrical tape and even light bulbs!
However, in order to make that happen, students require the technological components necessary to build their creations. Gears, motors, measuring devices, hardware, and tools are the bare minimums to allow their ideas to become realities. This investment marks a new beginning at my school to greatly expand student opportunities and helps to ensure that students are all college and career ready for the 21st Century!
