We need your help to either host an event or spread the word about Remake Learning Days to others in your network who have an interest in community outreach, youth engagement or simply sharing a love of learning. Existing events and activities can be included. Help KC STEM Alliance showcase and amplify the many rich learning experiences for young people to explore new interests, spark curiosity and connect with educational pathways.
Remake Learning Days (RLD) is a celebration of innovative experiences and opportunities for youth to develop their sense of creativity, perseverance and curiosity. Events are organized by different learning themes such as: Arts, Maker, Outdoor Learning, Science, Technology and Youth Voice. In addition, there are Professional Development sessions for school, out-of-school, child care and non-traditional educators.
The following invitations are shared by Callen Fairchild Zind, Strategic Communications Consultant for KC STEM Alliance, [email protected] or 816.564.9511.
