The Institute for Applied Tinkering (IAT) is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, CA, dedicated to revolutionizing education through hands-on, child-centric learning experiences. With over 15 years of experience, IAT offers a range of programs, including sleep-away camps, K-12 schools, day camps, and teacher workshops, that empower children to engage deeply in their learning using real tools and real interests.
Tinkering School, founded in 2005 by Gever Tulley, is a core program of IAT that believes in the capabilities of children and provides them with real tools to solve real problems. Brightworks, an independent K-12 school, is another initiative of IAT that partners with students on their educational journey, encouraging their instincts and supporting their passions. Committed to inclusivity, IAT aims to make its programs accessible to families of all income levels and shares its learnings with parents, teachers, and schools worldwide to transform education.
