Thanks for exploring reflecting with us! We loved sharing 3 takes on balance and hearing your 💡 for remixing the activity to suite your own spaces, learners, and goals.
Plus such a joy to present with @CTScienceCenter @BosChildMuseum 🥳

We tinkered with many materials to build balancing structures that were whimsical and creative then reflected on how additional concepts might be added to enhance the learning. #PML2023 @Play_Make_Learn @steph_muscat @BosChildMuseum @TinkeringStudio @CTScienceCenter

To tinker is not limited to a place and time, you can do it at home #kitchentabletinkering, at school, in the museum #makerspace, in a library, out in open spaces, etc Here we are experimenting with #balacingsculptures #exploringbalance with objects around us #STEAM #Tinkering

The Balancing The Force station today was a great success during our Star Wars May Peace Be With Us celebration. Thanks @smartinseb @ryanejenkins for the inspiration :)

"This was a fun way to learn." ❤️
Did you know that this exploration is based on an @exploratorium exhibit called Unstable Table?
More ideas for this activity are available here: exploratorium.edu/tinkering/… #exploringbalance #steamstarters

Check out this totally tubular base for building balancing sculptures by @MrsBissonSF! And do we spy 👀 a big fan to explore how sculptures move?
What are some other creative bases you've tried out, tinkering friends?

We're inspired by this material storage idea from @artencurs for building balancing sculptures!
It seems like a visible, accessible, and inviting way to present materials to learners. Taking notes 🗒️💡 for the next time we're #ExploringBalance in the Tinkering Studio ⚖️

Yes! The kit @smartinseb left behind here, is finding its own place in our school art rooms and begins to interact with materials from other stations. Let’s see where it takes us. @beatriz_reyp

Seeing how people adopt #tinkering ideas adapt them to their contexts is what pushes our field forward!
So we collected some of the ways tinkerers around the world are making their own versions of a set of durable reusable parts for #exploringbalance:

More #ExploringBalance with groovy ideas from the @TinkeringStudio I have a first grade class that explores balance, and this is so well timed… i’m also trying out these drying manikins as balance holders

Project page update alert!
We're always iterating on activities and trying to share the latest with our #tinkering community😊 So check out how we're approaching Unstable Table, a way of playfully #ExploringBalance inspired by an @Exploratorium exhibit👇

Trying out precarious balance explorations with a strong stable creative community?! That feels perfectly balanced, somehow ❤️🤗⚖️ #ExploringBalance

Today we received the visit of people from aĺl over Brazil that take part in the US alumni network. Before a Lively DT session to kick off their social projects, a bit of tinkering with balance inspired by @TinkeringStudio awesome work.

What an awesome sliding mechanism near the 🐟 fish!
Little adjustments really make an impact when it comes to building balancing kinetic sculptures 🤏⚖️

Experimenting some simple #balancingsculptures @immaginarioIS and trying to modify the #centerofgravity to change #equilibrium. We used recycled materials, foam sheets, clips, clothes pins and wooden dowels, inspired by @TinkeringStudio #STEAM #Gravity #levers #Trieste

Feeling energized after our build day with @ymcasf!
We worked with #YMCASF STEAM Specialists to build tinkering inventive play sets for #ExploringBalance and talked about remixes for different contexts.
We also tried a #zine as a reflection tool for the workshop! 📖🔨 (1/2)

Nothing says #Halloween like sitting in a dark closet building pencil and cardboard structures that balance on a pumpkin (digging these glow-in-the-dark Exploratorium pencils) #exploringbalance #tinkering

Is that...a ghost?!?
Nothing spooookier 👻 than glow-in-the-dark pencil balance explorations perched on a pumpkin! 🤣🎃⚖️
