Tinkering Saturday at the Ernst-Abbe-Library: Discover, Build, Wonder
On September 19, 2026, the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena will become a vibrant family experience for young tinkerers. Tinkering Saturday focuses on building, experimenting, and trying things out together - child-friendly, free of charge, and full of learning fun.
Understanding Technology Playfully
In the workshop on level 0, construction kits, electronics, and electrical building kits, Kapla blocks, and marble run experiments await curious children and accompanying adults. Everything is designed to allow families to explore step by step. This creates a calm but exciting approach to physics, technology, and creative solutions.
A Place for Curiosity and Quality Time
Tinkering Saturday invites families to develop ideas together, build circuits, and test constructions. This strengthens concentration, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities. At the same time, a real sense of community emerges: children's laughter, wonder, and small successes shape the visit.
Family-Friendly and Barrier-Free Planning
The event takes place during opening hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. According to the organizer, admission is free and the event is barrier-free. The Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena is an established educational and cultural institution with a family-oriented program that appeals to both children and adults.
Conclusion: A Free Saturday Full of Discoveries
