Learn Creativity via Dangerous Activities

June 9th, 2008 by Stephen

Posted in Inspiration, Web 2.0/Media |

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

Here is another fantastic TED talk:

Gever Tulley writes the best Twitters: Just landed my paraglider in an empty field behind Santa 8arbara. … Making amazing tshirts with a laser cutter at the maker faire in austin. … Washing fruit, putting sheets on bunkbeds, and grinding up aluminum foil in a cheap blender … Updating the school blog, trying to figure out how many cubic feet of air are in a 5 gallon cylinder at 200 PSI. … Trying to figure out if the tinker kids are going to be able to get molten iron from magnetite sand …

A software engineer, Gever Tulley is the co-founder of the Tinkering School, a weeklong camp where lucky kids get to play with their very own power tools. He’s interested in helping kids learn how to build, solve problems, use new materials and hack old ones for new purposes. He’s also a certified paragliding instructor.

    I’m interested about this school. I’m kids will learn lots of things that they will not be able to learn from academic school. And I’m sure kids are safe and well-guided in doing those stuffs.
