Gever Tulley is a computer scientist from California. In 2005, he started a summer program for children called Tinkering School. The idea was that children can learn important life skills by building things together. Gever Tulley and his team help children think about the sea and create plans for innovative things they want to build. The kids have been doing great things since school started. They built a Russian. They made a rope bridge out of plastic shopping bags. They made houses out of trees, wooden motorcycles and boats.
At Tinkering School, children receive all kinds of materials such as wood, metal or plastic. I also get a lot of real tools, such as knives, hammers, screwdrivers and electric drills. Some children cut themselves when using a knife or injured their fingers when using a hammer. The Tinkering School has been around for many years, but no one has ever been seriously injured in all those years. This is due to the fact that strict health and safety rules must be observed. Children always learn how to use the tools safely and must wear appropriate clothing and protection at all times.
Gever Tulley's ideas worked very well. Many children went to his summer schools over the years. In 2011, Gever Tulley and a colleague decided to create a "real" school called Brightworks in San Francisco. The school is very small - it has only 20 students aged between 6 and 13 years. Brightworks is based on the same principles as the Tinkering School.
Brightworks students love their school. I spoke to 12-year-old Tina Cooper. She has been a student at the school since October last year. "Since I started here, I've never been in a 'normal' class with a teacher," she told us. ‘But it was a very interesting experience. I worked hard at my new school for eight months and there was no time when I found it boring. I used to get bored quite often.
