Join and try out tinkering activities with light, movement and mechanisms, and share your thoughts on a work-in-progress. These activities are being developed as part of TinkeringinEU, a collaboration across the EU creating and testing new activities and exploring the ethos of Tinkering as a tool for hands-on learning in a variety of contexts.
Find out what we're up to and what we're thinking, and test it for yourself. Project representatives will be on hand to help you tinker and chat.
TinkeringinEU is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
