We've had a delightful time this week collaborating with our Kliptown Youth Program friends from South Africa.  During two one-hour sessions in the Open Lab, we built wire and paper sculptures to "make something spin" and we created claymation videos around the topic of "growing" (e.g. nature, children, families, etc.) using our classroom iPads.

Our friends commented on their experience tinkering and we found that their observations were quite similar to our own work with our students.  We discussed themes including creativity, perseverance, teamwork, overcoming fears, playfulness, and taking pride in your own work.
