A Personal Message from Peter H. Reynolds


Our great friend, best-selling author and illustrator Peter Reynolds, was a guest speaker at the first and tenth editions of the Constructing Modern Knowledge summer institute. He designed our logo and has been an enthusiastic supporter of our efforts since we first worked together in the late 1980s.

In this short video, Peter invites educators from around the world to join us at the final edition of Constructing Modern Knowledge in Manchester, New Hampshire this July 9-12, 2024.
