Syllabus

Week One: Introduction to Tinkering
What is tinkering? Is it different from engineering or other forms of making?

Week Two: Initial Explorations
What better way to learn about tinkering than to try it! We invite you to start by playing with circuit boards.

Week Three: Learning Dimensions
This week, it's scribbling machines! We'll also investigate how tinkering maps on to different indicators of learning.

Week Four: Tinkering Tenets and Personal Expression
Try your hand with paper circuits and sewn circuits, and explore the aesthetic dimensions of tinkering, including key design elements and basic principles.

Week Five: Coding, Computation and Facilitation Strategies
A look at the high-tech side of tinkering, plus strategies for facilitation and deep engagement.

Week Six: Putting It All Together
How will you take what you've learned in this class and apply it to your own life? We'll help you come up with a detailed action plan and get feedback from other students in the class.
