What's as fast as tents, but flexible enough to capture any free space schools have?
Scaffolding. Here's wikipedia for a quick primer.
Scaffolding is a code-compliant construction material ready for reuse.
Teachers bring the magic to school. Learning spaces should be co-create alongside teachers. Further, scaffolded space is hackable space — please — these spaces yours. Share what you've done or ask for help!
The goal is to make standing up a scaffolded space nearly as easy as an event tent. We're building a network of scaffolding providers, engineers and experts to bring experience and inspire confidence in the design and assembly process.
This is a buildingways project. We build tools to build community.
