A fascinating TED talk from Gever Tulley, who runs a school called the Tinkering School where he let’s second graders play with power tools.
His central thesis is that we are too overprotective and that by allowing kids the freedom to explore will make them safer. So, despite the provocative title, this talk is really about safety.
Granted, he doesn’t have kids, but that doesn’t diminish his points.
