The Workshop Your Colleagues Deserve
|
Dear Reader, You’re on our mailing list because you’ve shown an interest in learning through making, tinkering, and invention—and likely understand the power of project-based learning. You probably have an interest in computing and emerging technology too. But not every educator has experienced that “aha!” moment yet. That’s why we’ve created something new: Learning Adventures, a one-day professional development experience inspired by Constructing Modern Knowledge—but designed for any teacher, even those who aren’t tech-focused or already deep into PBL Led by Gary Stager, this workshop helps ALL educators design meaningful, interdisciplinary projects that inspire and engage students. In many ways, these workshops are familiar PD events, however their content is quite subversive. What if project-based learning was the center of the school day, rather than a special event?

Of course we would love for you to participate. But even if you can't, please consider sharing this invitation with a colleague or two who might not know they deserve this experience. November 1 – Dedham, MA (Boston area) 2026, January 9 – Jersey City, NJ (NYC area) Just bring curiosity and a laptop. We’ll supply the rest. Register a team to save money AND transform your school!
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested in Learning Adventures! Gary Stager and Sylvia Martinez |

Dear Colleague, What if you could spend five days in the birthplace of one of the world's most influential educational approaches, working alongside the visionary educators who've been demonstrating for over sixty years that children are capable, creative researchers deserving of our highest respect? Now imagine if learner-centered progressive traditions were supercharged by computation, robotics, and even AI. The Language of Computation: Constructing Modern Knowledge in Reggio Emilia returns...
Hello Reader! Computer programming is the new liberal art Programming gives young people agency over an increasingly complex and technologically sophisticated world. Seymour Papert asked more than 50 years ago, “Does the computer program the child or the child program the computer?” Answering that question in favor of the child is critical now more than ever. Developing, possessing, and wielding such computational fluency is essential for participating in democracy and thriving in an...
