COVID-19 Preparedness: Safety is always our #1 priority at Tinkering School. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, we are following all San Francisco Department of Public Health directives and guidance regarding Out of School Time activities including requirements for all staff and Tinkerers to maintain:
6 feet social distancing
Constant mask usage outside of snack time
Regular hand washing/sanitation, daily sanitation of the work shop and tools
Programs no bigger than 12 campers, lasting for a minimum of 3 weeks
Staff will only work with one program cohort at a time
Tinkering with Wood
(Ages 8-13)
We aim to empower kids with a sense that the world is malleable. Kids learn that they are agents of change who can grasp complex problems and express their creative ideas clearly. In each after school session, the project is a surprise, but our goals are the same: make friends, learn from failure, try really hard, and build something big! In this program, we will be Tinkering with wood, power tools, and an assortment of hardware and other unusual construction materials.
