Tinkering, discovering, and marveling: Family time at the Ernst-Abbe-Library
When children ask curious questions, build, experiment, and develop their own ideas, the workshop at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena becomes a special family experience. At Tinkering plus 1 at the EAB, electronic construction kits, Kapla blocks, marbles, wooden trains, and magnetic building sets invite creative time spent together.
A workshop full of ideas
From 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, space is created for children, parents, grandparents, and curious adults. Small and large tinkerers build their own constructions, test materials, and discover playfully how things work. This strengthens imagination, fine motor skills, spatial thinking, and the joy of independent learning.
A new plus every Tuesday
The special plus makes each appointment a new learning experience. Depending on the date, topics such as bee learning robots, microscopy of feathers, upcycled notebooks, digital and analog painting, boomerangs, windmills, or creative writing ideas are in focus. This program connects technology, nature, design, and language in a child-friendly way.
Age-appropriate fun for the whole family
The program is aimed at people aged 5 to 99 years. Children can find their own solutions, ask questions, and tinker together with others. Adults accompany the development of ideas and experience how curiosity, patience, and experimentation lead to small achievements. The open format is suitable for different levels of prior knowledge and creates a relaxed entry point.
A safe place to experiment
The event takes place in the workshop on level 0. The manageable environment provides a suitable framework for focused building, creative breaks, and joint discovery. The practical learning aspect is especially valuable: children observe, plan, change, and test their ideas step by step.
