The Untapped Learning Space: Children’s Museums

Over the last 125 years, children’s museums have become hubs for multi-generational learning, where play, discovery, connection and joy take center stage. Inspired by the latest educational research and technology, children’s museums are untapped learning powerhouses waiting to be discovered by more students, families, and community organizations.This session will feature three children’s museum leaders sharing the innovative ways their organizations partner with communities and approach transforming the way we learn, educate, and think of play.
