We’re big fans of the new summer program for kids by Bryan Welch and Marina McDougall. Tinkering School gets a lot of requests for other programs nearby that we can recommend, and we’re really happy to be able to recommend this new experiment from Bryan and Marina. Alumni from the first year of Tinkering School still talk about what a great experience it was to be there and help shape the program, I think the first alumni of A Curious Summer with have a similar opportunity. I’m also really intrigued by their idea of taking an idea (Shelter, Magnetic Fields, Camera Obscura, etc) and exploring it for a week - time enough to really investigate the concept and build on it.
Bryan and Marina describe the program thusly:
A Curious Summer is a series of one-of-a-kind workshops driven by the curiosity of your child. We aim to induce wonder and spark enthusiasm for the everyday world around us. We consider play, the mysterious work of the child, to be an advanced and sophisticated endeavor, profoundly central to a child’s individual development and theories about the world. A Curious Summer workshops encourage discovery through free play, tinkering, and imagination.
We will turn the Studio for Urban Projects storefront into a laboratory and point of departure for urban excursions. Each week we will undertake a unique project. At the end of the week kids will share their experience with family and friends in a reception at our storefront that showcases their discoveries.
