Our PLAYshops are dedicated to playful learning with creative materials. Using a maker-centered learning framework, we explore tinkering, collaboration, and design with a variety of tools and technologies. Each PLAYshop invites participants to share their own ideas, artifacts, stories, and experiences. We’ll use this collaborative experience to explore how to design learning-through-making experiences that are interest-driven and equitable for young people.
Playshop activities are best suited for children ages 4 and up.

Our Playshops have included electric circuits for the past few years. This time we will be expanding our creations by adding switches, motors, lights, and other devices. No experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to have fun. Come see what story you can tell with simple electrical concepts.
