Ha I put my own self thru that school late in life all on my own. And I had a blast. All you need is a few tools and to give yourself permission. Anyone can do it.

This looks like it would be great for the mind of a child. But if you're a parent and you let your kid go to this, you're a damned idiot.

12 dislikes? HOW AND WHY would you you disapprove of this? I am simply baffled by that. Children need danger and challenges.

You're never too old to tinker.

Brilliant idea, albeit a very old one. From what I see as I train to become a teacher, this is pretty much what the current revolution in education is about - the idea that understanding is more important than knowledge.

I've been doing this stuff for years and now I can do almost anything or least have a atempt at it (tree house next)

Tinkering is the exact opposite of teaching. Thanks for hosting this video, TED, but you're not quite on when you describe Tulley as "teaching" life lessons. Tulley is only creating opportunities for the children to teach themselves. "Teaching to" kids actually hinders genuine learning. A very inspiring little clip.
I wish I had that kind of an education
