IMAGINE A PLACE…

…a playground

…an arcade

…a theater

…a laboratory

…with space for professional development

…a studio

A place where play matters,

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is the work of childhood.” -Fred Rogers

with unlimited opportunities for exploration and discovery,

“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we

are playing.” -Charles Schaefer

where engineering and design are fostered,

“Necessity may be the mother of invention, but play is certainly the father.”Roger von OechContemporary American creativity guru

where creativity and innovation are encouraged,

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play

instinct.” – Carl Jung

where the questions are even more important than the answers,

“Play is the highest form of research .”-Albert Eistein

where learning is messy,

“Genius is wonderfully messy.”-Angel Maiers

where no classroom is defined by walls

or desks,

“Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.”

-Lauren Bacall

"Schools" need to go from ‘buildings’ to nerve centers, with walls that are

porous and transparent, connecting teachers, students and the community to the wealth of knowledge that exists

in the world.”

“It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still

differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between

them.” -Leo F. Buscaglia

and where those who lead recognize the importance of play…

…and engage in play themselves

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

-George Bernard Shaw

Resulting in the most comprehensive, learning-rich environment possible.

Never static. Never finished.

Always evolving.
