The Tinker Camp is back! This time beefed-up with more Design Thinking workshops. Apart from the usual hands-on prototyping, we will be using 3D printing and making our own arcade games.
Set -up in collaboration with San Francisco’s science centre, The Exploratorium, The Tinkering Studio encourages creative learning and exploration.
Things to bring: Sleeping bag, change of clothes (recommended track pants & long sleeves for the night), toiletries & your creative juices!
