This interactive workshop transforms participants into learning designers through hands-on experimentation and collaborative play. Moving beyond traditional lecture formats, this lab creates a sandbox environment where educators can prototype, test, and refi ne authentic learning experiences that connect deeply with learners' lives and interests. Participants will engage in design thinking processes, explore real-world problem-solving scenarios, and experiment with various pedagogical approaches that prioritize student agency and meaningful engagement. The "play lab" format encourages risk-taking, iteration, and creative exploration while building practical skills for creating learning experiences that students fi nd genuinely compelling and engaging for meaningful learning experiences.
