This is the exact moment
0
12160
4000
Ito ang mismong pangyayari
00:16
that I started creating something called Tinkering School.
1
16160
5000
nang naisip kong lumikha ng tinatawag na Tinkering School.
00:21
Tinkering School is a place where kids can pick up sticks
2
21160
4000
Ang Tinkering School ay isang lugar kung saan ang mga bata ay maaaring gumamit ng tingting na kahoy
00:25
and hammers and other dangerous objects,
3
25160
4000
at martilyo at iba pang mapanganib na bagay,
00:29
and be trusted.
4
29160
2000
at mapagkatiwalaan.
00:31
Trusted not to hurt themselves,
5
31160
2000
Pinagkakatiwalaan na hindi sasaktan ang sarili,
00:33
and trusted not to hurt others.
6
33160
4000
at pinagkakatiwalaang hindi makakasakit ng iba.
00:37
Tinkering School doesn't follow a set curriculum,
7
37160
3000
Walang sinusundang curriculum ang Tinkering School,
00:40
and there are no tests.
8
40160
2000
at walang mga pagsusulit.
00:42
We're not trying to teach anybody any specific thing.
9
42160
4000
Wala kaming sinusubukang ituro na anumang partikular na bagay.
00:46
When the kids arrive
10
46160
3000
Pagdating ng mga bata
00:49
they're confronted with lots of stuff:
11
49160
2000
nakatambad ang iba't ibang klase ng kagamitan:
00:51
wood and nails and rope and wheels,
12
51160
4000
mga kahoy at pako at lubid at gulong,
00:55
and lots of tools, real tools.
13
55160
5000
at maraming kasangkapan, mga totoong kagamitan.
01:00
It's a six-day immersive experience for the kids.
14
60160
5000
Ito ay isang karanasan para sa mga bata sa loob ng anim na araw.
01:05
And within that context, we can offer the kids time --
15
65160
4000
Sa ganitong paraan, nabibigyan namin ang mga bata ng panahon --
01:09
something that seems in short supply
16
69160
3000
isang bagay na tila kulang na ngayon
01:12
in their over-scheduled lives.
17
72160
3000
dahil sa dami ng kanilang gawain.
01:15
Our goal is to ensure that they leave
18
75160
3000
Layunin namin na sa pag-alis nila
01:18
with a better sense of how to make things
19
78160
2000
lumawak ang kanilang pag-unawa sa paggawa
01:20
than when they arrived,
20
80160
3000
higit pa sa noong sila'y unang dumating,
01:23
and the deep internal realization
21
83160
3000
at ang pagtanto
01:26
that you can figure things out by fooling around.
22
86160
4000
na may kaalamang nakukuha sa pamamagitan ng pagkalikot.
01:30
Nothing ever turns out as planned ... ever.
23
90160
5000
Gayunman ... walang bagay na natutupad ayon sa napagplanuhan.
01:35
(Laughter)
24
95160
2000
(Tawanan)
01:37
And the kids soon learn
25
97160
2000
At maaga nilang natututunan
01:39
that all projects go awry --
26
99160
4000
na lahat ng proyekto ay nabubulilyaso --
01:43
(Laughter)
27
103160
1000
(Tawanan)
01:44
and become at ease with the idea that every step
28
104160
2000
at madaling nilang natatanggap na bawat hakbang
01:46
in a project is a step closer
29
106160
3000
sa isang proyekto ay hakbang tungo
01:49
to sweet success,
30
109160
3000
sa matamis na tagumpay,
01:52
or gleeful calamity.
31
112160
4000
o sa nakakatuwang kasawiangpalad.
01:56
We start from doodles and sketches.
32
116160
4000
Nagsisimula kami mula sa mga doodles at pagguhit.
02:00
And sometimes we make real plans.
33
120160
3000
At minsan gumagawa kami ng totoong disenyo.
02:03
And sometimes we just start building.
34
123160
4000
At minsan agad kaming nagbubuo.
02:07
Building is at the heart of the experience:
35
127160
3000
Ang paggawa ay nasa puso ng karanasang ito:
02:10
hands on, deeply immersed
36
130160
3000
gawa ng sariling kamay,
02:13
and fully committed to the problem at hand.
37
133160
4000
at ganap na nakatutok sa napiling suliranin.
02:17
Robin and I, acting as collaborators,
38
137160
3000
Kami ni Robin, bilang katuwang at katulong,
02:20
keep the landscape of the projects
39
140160
2000
sinisiguro namin na ang direksyon ng mga proyekto
02:22
tilted towards completion.
40
142160
3000
ay upang matapos ito.
02:25
Success is in the doing,
41
145160
3000
Ang tagumpay ay nasa paggawa,
02:28
and failures are celebrated and analyzed.
42
148160
3000
at ang pagkabigo ay pinagdiriwang at sinisiyasat.
02:31
Problems become puzzles
43
151160
3000
Ang mga suliranin ay nagiging palaisipan
02:34
and obstacles disappear.
44
154160
4000
at nawawala ang mga balakid.
02:38
When faced with particularly difficult
45
158160
2000
Kapag nahaharap sa matinding
02:40
setbacks or complexities,
46
160160
2000
dagok o sa masalimuot na balakid,
02:42
a really interesting behavior emerges: decoration.
47
162160
5000
isang nakakatuwang ugali ang kusang lumalabas: paglalagay ng dekorasyon.
02:47
(Laughter)
48
167160
3000
(Tawanan)
02:50
Decoration of the unfinished project
49
170160
2000
Ang pagpapalamuti sa proyektong hindi natapos
02:52
is a kind of conceptual incubation.
50
172160
4000
ay gaya ng isang limliman ng mga konsepto.
02:56
From these interludes come deep insights
51
176160
3000
Sa paghinto nagmumula ang mga bagong pananaw
02:59
and amazing new approaches to solving the problems
52
179160
3000
at kahanga-hangang pamamaraan sa paglutas ng mga suliranin
03:02
that had them frustrated just moments before.
53
182160
5000
na dati'y humahadlang sa kanila.
03:07
All materials are available for use.
54
187160
5000
Lahat ng materyales ay maaring gamitin.
03:12
Even those mundane, hateful, plastic grocery bags
55
192160
6000
Kahit pa ang mga nakamumuhing plastik pang-grocery
03:18
can become a bridge
56
198160
2000
ay maaaring maging isang tulay
03:20
stronger than anyone imagined.
57
200160
4000
na mas malakas pa kaysa sa inakala.
03:24
And the things that they build
58
204160
3000
At kahit sila mismo ay napapahanga
03:27
amaze even themselves.
59
207160
3000
sa mga bagay na binuo nila.
03:30
Video: Three, two, one, go!
60
210160
4000
Bidyo: Tatlo, dalawa, isa, go!
03:41
Gever Tulley: A rollercoaster built by seven-year-olds.

Gever Tulley: Isang rollercoaster na binuo ng mga batang pitong-taon gulang.
03:45
Video: Yay!
62

03:48
(Applause)

03:50
GT: Thank you. It's been a great pleasure.
64
230160

GT: Salamat. Ako'y tunay na nagagalak.
