Tinkering Saturday in Jena: Build, research, and marvel together

Tinkering Saturday in Jena: Discover, build, and marvel

During Tinkering Saturday at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena, the workshop becomes a meeting point for curious children, families, and adults. From 10 am to 5 pm, diverse building kits and experiment sets invite participants to develop, try out, and implement their own ideas step by step.

Build circuits and experience physics

How does electricity flow? What makes a lamp light up? With electronic building kits, children can create their own circuits while playing and learning about physical relationships. The child-friendly materials promote curiosity, logical thinking, and an active learning experience.

Creative constructions with many possibilities

Construction kits, Kapla, and marble run experiment sets open up numerous paths for personal building projects. Whether stable towers, imaginative buildings, or exciting marble runs: new solutions always emerge when tinkering. The materials come with self-explanatory instructions and allow age-appropriate learning at one's own pace.

Shared family time with learning fun

Tinkering Saturday connects child development, creativity, and shared experiences. Children can work independently, while parents and siblings can pick up ideas and continue building together. This leads to children's laughter, amazement, and a genuine sense of community. Adults are also warmly invited to try things out and accompany the little researchers.

Experimenting in the workshop

The event takes place in the workshop on level 0 of the Ernst-Abbe-Library. The open design provides space for curious visitors who want to practically explore construction, electronics, and electricity. Independent work with the materials enhances concentration, fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and creative thinking.

Tinkering Saturday is a versatile family experience for anyone who enjoys building, researching, and making their own ideas visible. Come by, take time to try things out, and experience child-friendly learning fun right in Jena.
