Reimagining Everyday Places: Designing for Playful Learning

Description:

Playful learning reimagines everyday spaces to benefit children and families. This workshop explores this concept, guiding participants to create engaging public spaces by blending the science of how children learn, 21st-century skills, and community values. Through a design charrette, attendees will envision playful learning for a unique community. Combining key concepts, hands-on application, and group presentations, participants will gain tools to transform ordinary areas into vibrant playful learning landscapes.
