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:

• Where do great project ideas come from?
• How do wit, whimsy, and wonder lead to deeper learning?
• What makes a great project prompt?
• How can teachers shape the learning environment so creativity and serendipity flourish?

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)
November 4 – Downingtown, PA​
November 6 – Pittsburgh, PA​
November 7 – Chicago, IL

2026, January 9 – Jersey City, NJ (NYC area)

Just bring curiosity and a laptop. We’ll supply the rest.
