All visitors to the museum regardless of age can get creative with these familiar LEGO blocks in unexpected ways. Helpful facilitation is provided by Ryan Jenkins at this free family Sunday event on the first Sunday of Advent. We’ll use simple building blocks to create wondrous structures, small robots and machines.
Die Museumsbesucher – egal welchen Alters – dürfen selbst mit den bunten und beliebten Klötzchen kreativ werden. Professionelle Anleitung gibt es bei diesem kostenlosen Familiensonntag am 1. Advent von Ryan Jenkins. Der in Freiburg lebende Pädagoge kommt aus Los Angeles (Californien, USA) und führte bereits mit vielen Bildungseinrichtungen und Museen Technikprojekte durch. Aus einfachen Bausteinen – wie beispielsweise LEGO-Klötzchen – entstehen bei Jenkins Workshops wundersame Bauwerke und kleine Roboter und Maschinen.

Workshop:
Join Ryan Jenkins and friends from the Wonderful Idea for a hands-on tinkering workshop where you can slow down, play with everyday materials and explore the intersection between art, science and technology. We'll take inspiration from Ryan's recently released book The Tinkering Workshop and engage with several different interactive projects taken straight from the pages including DIY windmills, sky-trams and art machines.
Presentation (exact date/time TBA):
Join author Ryan Jenkins for a look at his new book, The Tinkering Workshop which presents a wide variety of ways to play and create with art, science and technology using everyday materials. In this talk Ryan will share the behind-the-scenes process of putting together the book and talk about ways that the images and text can support a tinkering mindset for kids, parents and educators. Using the book as a jumping off point, we'll explore the value of tinkering in STEAM education and how it's possible to get started in a classroom, with a museum or library makerspace, or around a kitchen table.
Calling all maker educators to join author Ryan Jenkins for a look at his new book, The Tinkering Workshop which presents a wide variety of ways to play and create with art, science and technology using everyday materials.

Help us celebrate the book birthday of Ryan Jenkins’ new guide to playful art and science explorations, The Tinkering Workshop! This special virtual launch party on the official publication date will be broadcast live from the Changemaker Lab at Live Oak School in San Francisco, an makerspace featured in the book as an inspiring tinkering environment.
Ryan will give a quick introduction to the book by inviting the team from Storey Publishing including photographer Hesh Hipp and lead designer Ian O’Neill to share about their behind-the-scenes process. Then we’ll have an interactive Q&A session with some of the spotlighted tinkerers who have contributed their STEAM explorations to the ‘going deeper’ pages in the book. And there will be an informal chat with a select group of making and tinkering educators will share how they will use the book in their homes, classrooms, libraries, museums and makerspace.
Parents and caregivers with their kids, educators and tinkerers are all invited to take part in this free event, meet some inspiring makers and get inspired to play, build and explore with science, art and technology. In advance of the launch party we invite you to pre-order your copy of the book on amazon, bookshop, barnes and noble or wherever curious books are sold.

Join Ryan Jenkins and friends from Tinkertank - Creative with technology to facilitate the building of a large scale #chainreaction machine as part of the "create your world" exhibition at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. This is a great opportunity for kids, adults and artists to play, prototype and explore together.
It will be a massive and unpredictable adventure to make a mobile workshop, incorporate a bunch of electronic scrap to the hashtag#rubegoldberg machine and invite people to build something larger than their own individual element!
The a new global workshop with the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre where we’ll combine computational elements with the craft of building kinetic sculptures. We'll experiment with micro:bit, cardboard construction, relays and motors, positional and continuous servo motors, linkage mechanisms and more.. There will be virtual artist workshop tours, community building and time to work on personal projects. For more information about CMT workshops join the makers’ mailing list!

We've been interested in the ways that digital tinkering can connect with personal expression and narrative. Ryan will be leading a workshop on MAKE campus with Jorvon Moss (who makes incredible companion robo-spiders) and Jasmine Florentine (who been experimenting with ticklish paper bots) about storytelling with servo motors.
These two makers have really inspired me over the past months and I can't wait to learn from and with them! There are still spots available to join us live for the session over zoom to tinker with materials, see examples and get a special look at Jorvon's robot workshop.
