Gever Tulley o'zining duradgorlik maktabidagi bolalar o'rganayotgan qimmatbaho darslarni namoyish qilish uchun qiziqarli rasmlar va lavhalardan foydalanyapdi. Ularga asboblar, kerakli moslamalar va yo'nalish berganda, bu yosh fikrlar juda erkin holatda harakat qilib, ijodkorlik g'oyalari ajoyib qayiqlarni, ko'priklarni, hattoki uchar chang'ilarni ham yasaydilar.

This is the exact moment

4000
Ayni mana shu paytda
00:16
that I started creating something called Tinkering School.
1
4000
5000
men Duradgorlik maktabini ocha boshladim.
00:21
Tinkering School is a place where kids can pick up sticks
2
9000
4000
Duradgorlik maktabi shunday joyki, bu yerda bolalar tayoqlarni
00:25
and hammers and other dangerous objects,
3
13000
4000
bolg'alarni va boshqa havfli narsalarni oladi,
00:29
and be trusted.
4
17000
2000
va bu bolalarga ishonib bo'ladi.
00:31
Trusted not to hurt themselves,
5
19000
2000
O'zlariga zarar yetkazmasliklari uchun va
00:33
and trusted not to hurt others.
6
21000
4000
boshqalarga zarar yetkazmasliklari uchun ularga ishonishadi.
00:37
Tinkering School doesn't follow a set curriculum,
7
25000
3000
Duradgorlik maktabi aniq bir o'quv dasturiga amal qilmaydi.
00:40
and there are no tests.
8
28000
2000
Shu bilan birga sinovlar ham yo'q.
00:42
We're not trying to teach anybody any specific thing.
9
30000
4000
Biz hech kimga hech qanday mahsus narsa o'rgatmoqchi emasmiz.
00:46
When the kids arrive
10
34000
3000
Bolalar maktabga kelganlarida,
00:49
they're confronted with lots of stuff:
11
37000
2000
ular ko'p narsalarga,
00:51
wood and nails and rope and wheels,
12
39000
4000
ya'ni yog'och, mixlar, arqon va g'ildiraklar,
00:55
and lots of tools, real tools.
13
43000
5000
hamda ko'plab asboblar, haqiqiy asboblarga duch keladilar.
01:00
It's a six-day immersive experience for the kids.
14
48000
5000
Bu bolalar uchun 6-kunlik juda mashg'ul tajriba.
01:05
And within that context, we can offer the kids time --
15
53000
4000
O'sha paytning o'zida bolalarga vaqt ajratib beramiz.
01:09
something that seems in short supply
16
57000
3000
Juda ham band bo'lgan hayotlarida
01:12
in their over-scheduled lives.
17
60000
3000
kam deb hisoblangan narsaga vaqt ajratamiz.
01:15
Our goal is to ensure that they leave
18
63000
3000
Bizning maqsadimiz, ular maktabga kelgan paytidan ko'ra, ketayotganlarida
01:18
with a better sense of how to make things
19
66000
2000
narsalarni qanday bajarish haqida
01:20
than when they arrived,
20
68000
3000
yaxshiroq tushunchaga ega bo'lish
01:23
and the deep internal realization
21
71000
3000
va shunchaki narsalrni o'yanb ko'rish orqali narsalarning mohiyatini tushunib yetsih kabi
01:26
that you can figure things out by fooling around.
22
74000
4000
chuqur ichki hissiyotga ega bo'lishidir.
01:30
Nothing ever turns out as planned ... ever.
23
78000
5000
Hech qachon hech narsa rejalashtirilgandek bo'lmaydi.
01:35
(Laughter)
24
83000
2000
(Kulgi)
01:37
And the kids soon learn
25
85000
2000
Bolalar tez orada hamma proyektlar
01:39
that all projects go awry --
26
87000
4000
noto'g'i yo'lda ketishini anglab yetdailar,
01:43
(Laughter)
27
91000
1000
(Kulgi)
01:44
and become at ease with the idea that every step
28
92000
2000
va proyektdagi har bir qadam
01:46
in a project is a step closer
29
94000
3000
shirin muvaffaqiyat yoki quvnoq muvafaqqiyatsizlik sari
01:49
to sweet success,
30
97000
3000
yanada bir qadam yaqinlashganilik g'oyasi bilan
01:52
or gleeful calamity.
31
100000
4000
o'zlarini hursand his qiladilar.
01:56
We start from doodles and sketches.
32
104000
4000
Biz rasmlar chizish va eskizdan boshlaymiz.
02:00
And sometimes we make real plans.
33
108000
3000
Ba'zida haqiqiy rejalar tuzamiz.
02:03
And sometimes we just start building.
34
111000
4000
Va ba'zi paytlarda qurilishdan boshlaymiz.
02:07
Building is at the heart of the experience:
35
115000
3000
Qurilish tajribaning eng markaziy qismi hisoblanadi.
02:10
hands on, deeply immersed
36
118000
3000
Amaliy, juda ham mashg'ul
02:13
and fully committed to the problem at hand.
37
121000
4000
va oldidagi vazifaga to'liq berilgandir.
02:17
Robin and I, acting as collaborators,
38
125000
3000
Robin va men, birgalikda ishlovchi hamkasblar,
02:20
keep the landscape of the projects
39
128000
2000
tugallanishiga yaqinlab qolgan
02:22
tilted towards completion.
40
130000
3000
proektlarning peyzajini saqlab qo'yamiz.
02:25
Success is in the doing,
41
133000
3000
Muvaffaqiyat ish bajarishdadir.
02:28
and failures are celebrated and analyzed.
42
136000
3000
Omadsizliklar esa nishonlanib tahlil qilinadi.
02:31
Problems become puzzles
43
139000
3000
Muammolar jumboqlarga aylanadi
02:34
and obstacles disappear.
44
142000
4000
va to'sqinliklar yo'q bo'ladi.
02:38
When faced with particularly difficult
45
146000
2000
Ayni qiyin bo'lgan to'sqinlik yoki
02:40
setbacks or complexities,
46
148000
2000
murakkabliklarga uchraganda,
02:42
a really interesting behavior emerges: decoration.
47
150000
5000
juda ham qiziqarli hulq paydo bo'ladi: bezash.
02:47
(Laughter)
48
155000
3000
(Kulgi)
02:50
Decoration of the unfinished project
49
158000
2000
Tugallanmagan proektni bezash
02:52
is a kind of conceptual incubation.
50
160000
4000
ongli inkubatsiya kabidir.
02:56
From these interludes come deep insights
51
164000
3000
Ularni hozirgina qiyin ahvolga qo'yib turgan muammolarni
02:59
and amazing new approaches to solving the problems
52
167000
3000
echish uchun ajoyib va yangi usullar
03:02
that had them frustrated just moments before.
53
170000
5000
huddi yuqorida aytilgan antraktlardan kelib chiqadi.
03:07
All materials are available for use.
54
175000
5000
Biz foydalanishimiz uchun hamma materialla bor.
03:12
Even those mundane, hateful, plastic grocery bags
55
180000
6000
Hattoki o'sha oddiy, jirkanchli, plastik o'ziq ovqat sumkalari
03:18
can become a bridge
56
186000
2000
sizlar tasavvur qilmagan darajada
03:20
stronger than anyone imagined.
57
188000
4000
kuchli ko'prik bo'la oladi.
03:24
And the things that they build
58
192000
3000
Ular quradigan narsalar hatto
03:27
amaze even themselves.
59
195000
3000
ularning o'zlarini ham hayratda qoldiradi.
03:30
Video: Three, two, one, go!
60
198000
4000
Video: uch, ikki, bir, kettik!
03:41
Gever Tulley: A rollercoaster built by seven-year-olds.
61
209000
4000
Gever Tulley: Yetti yoshlilalr qurgan uchar chang'i.
03:45
Video: Yay!
62
213000
3000
Video: Yay!
03:48
(Applause)
63
216000
2000
(Qarsaklar)
03:50
GT: Thank you. It's been a great pleasure.
64
218000
3000
Gever Tulley: Rahmat sizlarga. Judam ham maroqli bo'ldi.
