It was a good day for working on a little boat. Made a mast from a eucalyptus sapling that was cut by tinkerers ten years ago, and a sail from a recycled kitesurfing wing. #tinkering #sailboat @ Montara, California instagram.com/p/Cb3-PfRrbAu/… – at Montara, CA

"For example, the Turtle circle is body syntonic in that the circle is firmly to children’s sense and knowledge about their own bodies. Or it is ego syntonic in that it is coherent with children’s sense of themselves as people with intentions, goals, desires, likes, and dislikes"
Very excited to be co-hosting a workshop on fostering intrinsic motivation, big projects, and a live tour of our Mars rover experience! Fully interactive, ask questions, drive a rover, giggle like a little kid: TinkeringSchool.com/training… #mars #rovers #PBL
