PlacenTinkers are so Curious!!  This past makerspace we read The Little Book of Curiosity by Zach Bush and Laurie Friedman.  This book taught us about the many benefits to being curious.  We rotated through several activity centers asking open ended questions and exploring new things.  Our centers were:

• Electronics take-apart center

• Marble run/maze

• Exploration Station (with microscopes and and old fashioned typewriter!)

• Rocks and Minerals center

• Lego wall

• Measuring center

There was a palpable enthusiasm and a sense that curiosity makes our brains more interested in learning, and that as we learn, we enjoy the excitement it brings.  Placentinkers now know that it's fun to explore and learn and there is no such thing as a bad question.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.”
~Albert Einstein 

PlacenTinkers are thinkers!
