PREMIER LEAGUE PLEDGES $100K, DONATION DRIVE AT 50% OF TARGET

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS JOIN FORCES WITH C&W FOR HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORTS

PREMIER LEAGUE PLEDGES $100K, DONATION DRIVE AT 50% OF TARGET

  MIAMI, FL – September 29, 2017 – Just one week after the launch of the Cable & Wireless Charitable Foundation to provide relief to Caribbean countries devastated by recent hurricanes, major local, regional and international partners are joining the call for support. One of the first to respond was the Premier League with a donation of US$100,000.00.

  According to John Reid, CEO of Cable & Wireless Communications (C&W), the response by the company’s partners has been no less than emphatic. “We are delighted by the amazing response we’ve had from our partners in such a short period of time. In less than seven days, as well as the fantastic donation from the Premier League, we’ve seen wonderful contributions from other partners including One Caribbean TV, Anixter, Sigma, Emida, Nelson Mullings, and Next IT with more committing to funds and fundraising targets. While many in the Caribbean continue to suffer in literal darkness, it is inspiring to see that so many are also eager to help.”

  Speaking on their contribution, Richard Scudamore, Premier League Executive Chairman, said, “The Premier League and English football have long connections with the Caribbean and there are many fans of Premier League clubs across the region. Having seen the devastation caused by the recent hurricanes, and read and heard about the many people who are suffering as a result, we felt it was right to support the efforts of the Cable & Wireless Charitable Foundation that is aiding the relief and recovery initiatives.”

  The Cable & Wireless Charitable Foundation was established by C&W, a Liberty Global company, as an immediate response to the devastation left by recent hurricanes across the Caribbean. The Foundation will initially serve as a fundraising hub, disbursing monies raised to recognized local, regional and international charitable agencies to execute projects in affected territories. C&W recently announced ShelterBox and Rotary International as the first two organizations to receive grants under the newly established Foundation with the purpose of providing immediate relief support and then longer term rebuilding and recovery activities.

  To date the fundraising drive has raised over 50% of the Foundation’s target of an additional $500,000 to match the seed funding C&W originally donated. Reid also emphasized as part of the fundraising and relief drive that he is extremely proud of the employee response. C&W employees are participating in a voluntary internal payroll donation campaign across all markets, as well as contributing canned goods, personal care products and non-perishable items that continue to be airlifted to impacted markets. In addition, parent company Liberty Global has launched their “In Givers” campaign and will match employee donations across all its operating companies worldwide.

What is tinkering? Why do it? Who can do it? I want to try to answer these questions by thinking through two things specifically: first, focusing on understanding the idea of tinkering and second, why is it an important concept to introduce to the early childhood environment? In this post, I want to talk through exactly what tinkering is all about.

Full disclaimer: These questions about tinkering have been spurred on by two things happening at the Museum. First, we have embraced this fantastic world of tinkering through a partnership with the engineers over at Anixter. (More on that programming later.) Second, my colleagues and I are also participating in an online course about tinkering put on by the Tinkering Studio at the Exploratorium located in San Francisco. 

I have always been a fan of making things and creatively problem solving through materials (like building a house only using cardboard tubes and tape, seen here). David Macaulay’s The Way Things Work was a standout book from my childhood; as a freshman in college, when I was able to see him talk about his books and illustrations, it was another standout moment. Though I never thought of myself as a tinkerer, as I delve into the world of tinkering, it feels very natural to me as an artist, and art educator.

In Invent to Learn, Sylvia Libow & Gary Stager make this interesting proclamation: messing around or playing with materials is actually an important way of learning. Direct work with materials familiar and unfamiliar force the participant (no matter the age!) to “build a sense of science as inquiry, exploration and investigation rather that as answers.” 

As an art educator, it feels very validating to think that tinkering is equally an art and an engineering practice. I think to push it further, the boundary that singles out art from technology, engineering or science really is fluid in this tinkering practice. Making is making, and essential for the thinking and learning that happens in all these areas! When I was in art school, I had a teacher who would repeatedly say “Tim, you’re thinking too much, just do” or “Don’t think, just work!” There is just such clarity that happens through working through a problem with your hands.

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I want to also focus on how Libow & Stager define tinkering, then in true tinkering fashion, pull it apart to better understand what they mean to help create a fuller picture of this unique making-centered world. Let’s start with their definition: “Tinkering is a uniquely human activity, combining social and creative forces that encompass play and learning.”

Key idea 1: Tinkering is active

Tinkering is action and problem driven: how can I do x? What makes y happen? Can I use z material to make something new? Or can I make z in a better way?

Key idea 2: Tinkering is purposeful play

You have to get messy. You have to play around with materials. You have to make mistakes. Once tools are modeled, then proper use should be understood through guided, but open-ended practice. Most importantly, mistakes happen.

Key idea 3: Tinkering doesn’t happen in a vacuum

Mistakes are frustrating. Support is not only helpful, but necessary in helping the tinkerer push through not knowing. A community of help also makes it easier to ask for help, and build up confidence in the maker to take risks. (The group becomes a safety net.) This doesn’t happen in a vacuum: tinkering is based on real world tools and objects. Thinking through making and creative problem solving aren’t just catchphrases, but are really important life skills.

In short, tinkering supports the growth of a resourceful thinker.

Why is this important for working with young children?

Tinkering is a way to engage the whole child (or maker, any age really) in the learning process.

In taking on a tinkering mindset as an educator, you are promoting a child-centered environment built on encouraging permission and structured exploration, while embracing - or even encouraging - mistakes. Mistakes don’t act as the brakes on thinking, but are important ways of acting out what doesn’t work and then taking a detour to a new and eventually successful outcome. In this process, the child has to slow down. 

Take it from me, as an art educator I see it often and even hope for it to happen when a child enters the Museum’s art studio. That slowing down is a great moment. This moment is a foundational premise to tinkering as a practice. To be clichéd, the idea of gears clicking together in each child’s head as they work is the best analogy.

Come find out how we tinker at the Museum! 

We have partnered with engineers at Anixter to develop some great activities to celebrate the exploration of tinkering. Kohl Children’s Museum’s Tinkering Tuesdays program encourages children to do what they do best - let their curiosity take over! Explore the world of engineering by building machines and creating processes, and then explore what happens when you make changes or do things differently. 

Programming takes place from 2:30 – 4 p.m. on the Museum’s STEAM Cart at announced locations in the Museum exhibits.

Here is what we will be focusing on our upcoming Tinkering Tuesdays:

Our next Tinkering Tuesday programs are October 6 & 20 from 2:30 - 4 p.m. on the Museum’s STEAM cart at announced locations in the Museum exhibits. Temperature Adventure will let children explore how various temperatures can been detected with the use of a thermal camera. 

Watch for a really exciting Tinkering Tuesday mega-program to be announced soon for November!

See you around!
