Tinkering is about hands-on experiences, learning from failures, and unstructured time to explore and invent. And through the processes of exploration and invention lies the potential for innovation. (Tinkerlab.com)
Tinkerer: one who experiments with materials and ideas to fully understand their capacities, and who further iterates on their learning to find better solutions to current problems.
I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work - Thomas Edison
Tinkering is a 21st century literacy and is a key reproductive practice of contemporary culture. (Designing Techno Culture)
TINKERING?

20ish mins
or even bigger better stronger http://youtu.be/5XjZ2MFmYjk
next: - go bigger- make it harder to use- go multiplayer
- design for emotion
- make something better, fix something
45 min (maybe a bit more)> shoot a 1 min demo for your blogs

What is Scratch, and what can I do with it?Scratch is a programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations. In the process of designing and programming Scratch projects, young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.
- Designed for 8-16 year olds, great for non-coders- to create a fun method for learning to code (important 21st cent literacy)- Invented in 2003 by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Medialab- Makey Makey compatible!

NowExplore the scratch functionality a bit, make some simple interactions. Use your makey!
Then If we can go on after lunch, let’s design ourselves a homemade project, from scratch ;)
