ThinkeringSpace was funded by the MacArthur Foundation’s Digital Media, Learning & Education initiative to create flexible, interactive environments that encourage school age children to tinker with things, reflect on what they discover, and express ideas in ways they can share with others.

ThinkeringSpace acknowledges the importance of a hands-on approach to the discovery and exploratory learning processes. In its first year, the goal was to create full-scale behavioral prototypes, then to evaluate the prototypes through qualitative research sessions with kids. It continued as an attempt to develop concepts of "virtual tinkering" to engage children of different learning styles. The project also assessed the role of institutional spaces, such as schools, museums and libraries in shaping learning and play.
