This is the exact moment that I started creating something called Tinkering School.
Ky eshte tamam momenti qe une fillova te krijoj dicka qe quhet Shkolla e Punes.
Tinkering School is a place where kids can pick up sticks and hammers and other dangerous objects, and be trusted. Trusted not to hurt themselves, and trusted not to hurt others. Tinkering School doesn't follow a set curriculum, and there are no tests. We're not trying to teach anybody any specific thing.
Kjo shkolle eshte nje vend ku femijet mund te marrin shkopinj cekic dhe objekte te tjera te rrezikshme, dhe ku mund t'i besohet atyre. Ku mund ti besohet qe nuk do vriten vete, dhe nuk do te vrasin te tjeret. Kjo shkolle nuk ndjek ndonje plan mesimor, dhe nuk ka teste. Nuk perpiqemi te mesojme gjera specifike.
When the kids arrive they're confronted with lots of stuff: wood and nails and rope and wheels, and lots of tools, real tools. It's a six-day immersive experience for the kids. And within that context, we can offer the kids time -- something that seems in short supply in their over-scheduled lives. Our goal is to ensure that they leave with a better sense of how to make things than when they arrived, and the deep internal realization that you can figure things out by fooling around.
Kur femijet arrijne ketu ata ballafaqohen me shume gjera: dru, gozhda, litare dhe rrota, dhe shume vegla te tjera, vegla te verteta . Eshte eksperience gjashte ditore per femijet Ne kete kontekst, ne mund ti japim kohe femijeve -- dicka qe nuk u mjafton ne jeten e tyre te mbiprogramuar. Qellimi yne eshte te sigurohemi qe ata te dalin me me shume dije se si te ndertojne gjera qe kur ata erdhen, dhe po ashtu me ndjenjen e thelle qe mund te kuptosh si funksionojne gjerat duke lozur.
Nothing ever turns out as planned ... ever. (Laughter) And the kids soon learn that all projects go awry -- (Laughter) and become at ease with the idea that every step in a project is a step closer to sweet success, or gleeful calamity. We start from doodles and sketches. And sometimes we make real plans. And sometimes we just start building. Building is at the heart of the experience: hands on, deeply immersed and fully committed to the problem at hand. Robin and I, acting as collaborators, keep the landscape of the projects tilted towards completion. Success is in the doing, and failures are celebrated and analyzed. Problems become puzzles and obstacles disappear.
Asnjere nuk ndodh sic e planifikon...kurre. (Te qeshura) Dhe femijet shpejt mesuan qe gjithe projektet shkojne keq -- (Te qeshura) dhe u mesuan me idene qe cdo hap ne nje projekt eshte nje hap me afer drejt suksesit, ose deshtimit. Fillojme me shkarravina dhe skica. Dhe nganjehere bejme plane te verteta. Nganjehere ne fillojme direkt te ndertojme. Ndertimi eshte zemra e nje eksperience: te angazhuar, te zhytur thelle dhe duke u perpjekur ta zgjidhim ate problem. Une dhe Robin, si bashkepunues, kujdesemi per projektet qe shkojne drejt realizimit. Suksesi qendron ne berjen, dhe deshtimet celebrohen dhe analizohen. Problemet behen gjeza dhe pengesat zhduken.
When faced with particularly difficult setbacks or complexities, a really interesting behavior emerges: decoration. (Laughter) Decoration of the unfinished project is a kind of conceptual incubation. From these interludes come deep insights and amazing new approaches to solving the problems that had them frustrated just moments before.
Kur ballafaqohemi me pengesa vecanerisht te veshtira ose komplekse nje menyre interesante paraqitet: dekorimi. (Te qeshura) Dekorimi i projektit te pa perfunduar eshte nje lloj inkubacioni konceptual. Nga keto gjera te panjohura mesojne shume dhe menyra te reja per ti zgjidhur problemet qe kane hasur pak me pare.
All materials are available for use. Even those mundane, hateful, plastic grocery bags can become a bridge stronger than anyone imagined. And the things that they build amaze even themselves.
Mund ti perdorin te gjitha materialet. Bile dhe qeset plastike mund te behem nje ure me e forte sa mund te imagjinohet. Dhe gjerat qe ata ndertojne i cudisin edhe ata vete.
