Creativity in Education

I have mentioned Gever Tulley and the Tinkering School before. Here's more directly from the Tinkering School Newsletter. It is exciting stuff!!

Dear Friends,

As I mentioned in the last newsletter, we're opening a new K-12 school in San Francisco: Brightworks
http://sfbrightworks.org

Because of the tight schedule between now and September when we open, we are regretfully unable to offer our sleep-over camp here in the Bay Area. There are great Tinkering School programs offering full summer schedules in Chicago http://chicago.tinkeringschool.com and Austin http://austintinkeringschool.wordpress.com
These are programs that are as unique and engaging as our usual summer program and I cannot recommend them enough.

As much as I am reluctant to interrupt our six-year history of amazing camps here in California, I am proud of the new Tinkering School programs appearing around the country and excited to be creating a new kind of school. I hope you'll stick with us; we're going to be back next summer, and I think that Brightworks will justify the interruption in our Tinkering School offerings.

All the best,
-gever

P.S. if you haven't heard, I have a new book just out this week on Amazon: Beware Dangerism!
