Gever Tulley teaches life lessons through tinkering

Prevodilac: Miloš Živković Lektor: Ana Zivanovic-Nenadovic

This is the exact moment

Ovo je momenat

that I started creating something called Tinkering School.

kada sam započeo sa stvaranjem nečega što se zove "Škola klikeraša".

Tinkering School is a place where kids can pick up sticks

Škola klikeraša je mesto gde deca mogu uzeti štapove

and hammers and other dangerous objects,

čekiće i druge opasne objekte,

and be trusted.

i gde im se pruža poverenje.

Trusted not to hurt themselves,

Poverenje da neće povrediti sebe

and trusted not to hurt others.

kao i poverenje da neće povrediti one oko njih.

Tinkering School doesn't follow a set curriculum,

Škola klikeraša ne prati plan i program.

and there are no tests.

Ne postoje testovi.

We're not trying to teach anybody any specific thing.

Nikoga ne pokušavamo naučiti nekoj specifičnom stvari.

When the kids arrive

Kada deca pristignu

they're confronted with lots of stuff:

suočavaju se sa mnogo stvari,

wood and nails and rope and wheels,

poput drvlja, eksera, kanapa, točkova,

and lots of tools, real tools.

i još mnogo drugih alata - pravih alata.

It's a six-day immersive experience for the kids.

To je šestodnevna radionica za decu.

And within that context, we can offer the kids time --

I u tom rasponu, mi im možemo ponuditi vreme razonode.

something that seems in short supply

Nešto što se čini uskraćenim

in their over-scheduled lives.

u njihovim već preopterećenim životima.

Our goal is to ensure that they leave

Naš cilj je da osiguramo da oni završe radionicu

with a better sense of how to make things

sa boljim veštinama i osećajem kako napraviti stvari

than when they arrived,

za razliku od onoga što su posedovali pre pohađanja,

and the deep internal realization

i da steknu duboko unutrašnje shvatanje

that you can figure things out by fooling around.

da možete stvarati predmete iz čiste dokolice.

Nothing ever turns out as planned ... ever.

Ništa ne ispadne onako kao što je planirano... nikada.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And the kids soon learn

Deca zatim vrlo brzo nauče

that all projects go awry --

da svi projekti polaze naopako --

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

and become at ease with the idea that every step

i uz to postaju svesni ideje da ih svaki korak

in a project is a step closer

u projektu čini sve bliži

to sweet success,

slasti uspeha,

or gleeful calamity.

ili ludom radovanju.

We start from doodles and sketches.

Mi počinjemo sa škrabotinama i skicama.

And sometimes we make real plans.

Tako da ponekad napravimo prave planove.

And sometimes we just start building.

A ponekad počnemo i sa izgradnjom.

Building is at the heart of the experience:

Izgradnja je srce iskustva.

hands on, deeply immersed

Zasučeni rukavi, duboko uneseni u rad

and fully committed to the problem at hand.

i potpuno posvećeni problemu koji se ispoljava.

Robin and I, acting as collaborators,

Robin i ja, kao saradnici,

keep the landscape of the projects

održavamo viziju projekata

tilted towards completion.

usmerenu ka ispunjenju.

Success is in the doing,

Uspeh je u samom radu,

and failures are celebrated and analyzed.

dok su neuspesi proslavljeni i analizirani.

Problems become puzzles

Problemi postaju slagalice

and obstacles disappear.

stoga prepreke nestaju.

When faced with particularly difficult

Kada su suočeni sa određenom poteškoćom

setbacks or complexities,

smetnjama i složenostima,

a really interesting behavior emerges: decoration.

javlja se vrlo interesantno ponašanje: ukrašavanje.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Decoration of the unfinished project

Ukrašavanje nezavršenog projekta

is a kind of conceptual incubation.

je neka vrsta konceptualne inkubacije.

From these interludes come deep insights

Iz ovih prekida dolaze suptilni uvidi

and amazing new approaches to solving the problems

i neverovatne, nove metode rešavanja problema

that had them frustrated just moments before.

koji su ih frustrirali samo nekoliko trenutaka pre.

All materials are available for use.

Svi materijali su dostupni za korišćenje.

Even those mundane, hateful, plastic grocery bags

Čak i one svakodnevne, mrske, plastične kese za namirnice

can become a bridge

mogu postati most

stronger than anyone imagined.

snažniji nego što bi iko to mogao pretpostaviti.

And the things that they build

A stvari koje izgrađuju

amaze even themselves.

zapanjuju i njih same.
