Tinkering Project<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In true Curious-on-Hudson style and in the spirit of Gever Tully\u2019s Tinkering School in San Francisco, we<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
spend each week on a collaborative group project. Kids discuss, ideate, design, build and test an<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ambitious tinkering project that captures the excitement and fun of invention!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maker Space<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Indoors Curious-on-Hudson\u2019s Maker Space will offer kids a choice of activities including (but not limited<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
to) art, coding, storytelling, circuitry, reading, robotics, maze building and Rube Goldberg machines.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Connecting with Nature<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Outdoors we take advantage of the wooded trails, grassy fields, and a wee garden. In the wooded<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
groves, we build shelters, create adventurous games and explore the natural world. The open field<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
areas support games of play that support the maker\/user philosophy including a greenhouse made<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
from recycled materials or a Quidditch game played with student-made Quidditch sticks. In our garden,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
children get down and dirty with food and learn about sustainability.<\/div>\n
