Design Lab Playdates
The Design Lab playdates are designed for K-12 educators and other adults who work with youth during and after school. The playdates are an opportunity to get hands-on with the wide variety of the technology, computer science, and computational thinking resources available from the Design Lab in an environment where trying things out and learning from our mistakes is encouraged. The tools and activities being shared are low floor - high ceiling which means we can help you create an activity that is appropriate for whatever age group you work with. The playdates will be back in the Fall 2022!
* Please note that the playdates are geared toward K-12 educators and adult mentors and are not open to unaccompanied minors.
