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? In the Learning Adventures workshop, participants will explore questions such as:
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 |

Hi Reader, It's a great joy to introduce educators to their heroes and creating learning adventures they never dreamed were possible. That’s why Gary spent fifteen years cultivating relationships with the wise and profound educators of Reggio Emilia, Italy. That effort culminated in the collaborative offering, The Language of Computation – Constructing Modern Knowledge in Reggio Emilia. Last April’s institute was deemed such an outstanding success that we have been invited back to Reggio to...
Hello Reader! Discussions about Artificial Intelligence in schools continue to percolate. So, as Gary Stager is on-the-road leading Learning Adventures workshops, we thought you might be interested in some learner-centered views on AI. But first — It’s not too late to register for this week’s Learning Adventures workshops in Pittsburgh (November 6) and Chicago (November 7)! AI, Schools, and the Labubu Problem In this provocative essay, Gary Stager lends a historical perspective to illuminate...
