EEC has a long history of teaching science through play.  Our NSF funded
curriculum, Playtime is Science uses this very strategy.  Our
perspective is that play is the "work" of learning --not only for young
children but for everyone.

Hello Everyone,

For the 2011 annual conference, The Sara Lee Schupf Family Center for
Play, Science and Technology Learning (SciPlay) at the New York Hall of
Science, along with our collaborators from Brooklyn College and Tufts
University, is looking to put together a session about learning science
in play-based environments. Playful learning refers to student-directed
learning experiences driven by the enjoyment of engaging with the
activity.

How does your institution define play? Have you developed, implemented
or evaluated programming that uses play as the primary driver for
learning science? What are some design features that help support play
but at the same time learning?

We would like to hear about your work and involve as many institutions
as we can.

Regards,

Adiel Fernandez
Science Instructor
