My Project
So many of my students' worlds are dominated by screens and scrolling that they are losing touch with hands-on skills and curiosity about how things work. To open up space for exploring, my school has organized clubs for students to explore new skills.
The Tinker Studio is a space for young people to build confidence through learning and exploring basic hand tools, engineering, circuitry, and project design.
We will meet several times a month to build relationships while engaging in hands-on inquiry-driven projects. Some of these projects will be structured and others, an opportunity to explore, make mistakes, and reflect on the process.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
