House of Possibilities Playground: Creative Design for Access & Inclusion

Information

The House of Possibilities Playground fosters an interactive, accessible, inclusive environment where educators explore diverse perspectives via hands-on activities, discussions, and digital tool exploration. Experimenting with innovation and creativity, participants discover strategies to cultivate curiosity, creative expression, deeper learning, and a sense of belonging for all learners.

Outline

We will follow the structure and engagement recommendations provided to the playground organizers as has been the practice over the past several years. Playgrounds generally last 2 hours across 2 one hour session blocks with tables and poster areas with presenters speaking on various topics as attendees travel through to visit each table in their exploration of the playground space. There is also usually a stage area or two along with space for interactive experiences.

The same holds true for other equipment/materials to bring.
