Building on the success of last years set of "made from household items" puzzles for kids, we're working on an all-new collection of engaging "build a solution" puzzles. We may use a "Fifty Dangerous Things" theme for the booth, but we haven't fully decided on that.

About the Maker(s)
Gever Tulley
Tinkering School is dedicated to developing hands-on experiences for children of all ages. It's a place where kids are given the opportunity to build big projects using real tools and real materials. "The best way for children to become engaged, innovative, and creative thinkers and makers," suggests Gever, "is to give them a chance to make something amazing with their own hands."
