Tinkering, discovering, and marveling at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena
With Tinkering plus 1, the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena invites families, children, and curious explorers to a creative afternoon full of learning fun. On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, a lively place for trying out, crafting, and researching will be created in the workshop.
A family experience for young researchers
Here, there are electrical construction sets, Kapla blocks, marble and wooden trains, as well as magnetic building sets available. This playfully strengthens fine motor skills, logical thinking, and concentration. The offer is aimed at people aged 5 to 99 years and combines child-friendly learning with real family time.
A new addition every Tuesday
The special feature of the series: Every Tuesday, there is a fresh highlight. Sometimes it's about bee-learning robots, sometimes about foldable books or other small discoveries. This keeps the visit varied and creates excitement for returning family moments in the library.
Age-appropriate, safe, and practical
The event takes place in the workshop on level 0. According to the library's program, the tinkering offer is intended as a regular participation time for children aged 6 and older and families; for the date on 09/15, participation of ages 5 to 99 is mentioned in the announcement. The open workshop provides a protected environment for creative learning, joint discovery, and a pleasant atmosphere for families.
Why families love this offer
Tinkering plus 1 naturally combines education and fun. Children experience self-efficacy when something of their own emerges from parts, blocks, and ideas. Adults accompany, marvel, and share the joy of small successes. This is exactly how a family experience grows that remains in memory for a long time.
Conclusion: Those looking for a free, child-friendly, and inspiring family event in Jena will find a wonderful meeting place here to participate. Tinkering plus 1 invites everyone to be creative together, learn new things and experience the joy of discovery live.
