When eager pre-k and kindergarten students begin the school year, they will have a new space for experiential learning, thanks to the vision and hard work of Lower School Head, Sue Szczepkowski, and teachers Betsy Duryea and Rose Mirabile. Outfitted with a kitchen, flexible studio space, workbenches and tools, GA's Tinkering Lab is designed to build a child's mechanical thinking skills, help them understand problem solving through the making and building of things, and inspire confidence along the way. To hear more about the Tinkering Movement, watch this TED Talk by tinker-founder Gever Tulley.
