This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Gever Tulley presents an opportunity to practice the art of tinkering. There is a whole world of possibilities hidden away in the most unexpected materials. He lives the art of tinkering in his Tinekring School and share it with you!

Gever Tulley is the founder of Tinkering School, an internationally known summer program for children. He is also the founder of SF Brightworks, an innovative K12 school in San Francisco that emphasizes experiencebased, handson, experiential learning. As Gever notes: “I have made it my mission to reintroduce the world to children: the real world as revealed through unscripted, handson, meaningful learning experiences.“
Gever is an author of the book Fifty Dangerous Things (you should let your children do), the TED book Dangerism!, and the children's book The Little Girl Who Sneezed.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, selforganized events that bring people together to share a TEDlike experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, selforganized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are selforganized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
