Computational tinkering is a playful approach to supporting making and tinkering with digital and physical materials.
While working with the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, and other collaborators such as the Tinkering Studio at the Exploratorium, the LEGO Foundation, and Reggio Emilia, and artists, we've designed workshops, materials, spaces, and facilitation approaches to support young tinkerers in creating with code, electronics, visual art, and craft materials.
