Once again the organization TED brings us forward thinking.
In this 4 minute video, Gever Tulley shows us how kids can be taught valuable life lessons at his 6-day immersion "Tinkering School"
When given tools, materials and guidance, these young imaginations run wild and creative problem-solving takes over to build unique boats, bridges and even a rollercoaster!
Tulley says: "Success is in the doing, failures are celebrated and analyzed. Problems become puzzles and obstacles disappear."
