Great tinkering happiness for little explorers in Jena
The Tinkering Saturday at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena invites families to a playful technology and research experience. On 26.09.2026, children, parents, and curious participants will meet in the workshop to explore building kits, marble run experiments, and simple circuits.
Wonder, build, try out
This is all about discovering together instead of just watching. With construction, electronics, and electrical building kits, Kapla, and marble run sets, a child-friendly family experience is created that promotes motor skills, concentration, and early technical understanding. According to the event information, the building kits are self-explanatory and thus accessible to younger tinkering fans.
Learning fun with real Aha effect
The format naturally combines learning and play. Children experience how circuits work, how components interact, and how many small ideas come together to create their own project. This makes the event pedagogically valuable: it strengthens curiosity, problem-solving, and joint experimentation in a safe, calm environment.
Family-friendly and barrier-free
The event takes place in the workshop on level 0 of the Ernst-Abbe-Library. The date is marked as suitable for children, admission is free, and the library emphasizes its barrier-free accessibility. Therefore, Tinkering Saturday is particularly well-suited for families seeking an uncomplicated, low-threshold offering with genuine learning character.
A visit that makes you crave more
Those who want to spend a relaxed Saturday with children filled with meaning, play, and shared time will find a strong offering here. Tinkering Saturday combines children's laughter, the spirit of exploration, and family time into a lively participatory moment. Experience it live now and start together.
