Remake Learning celebrated the start of its 20th year inside and outside the Children\u2019s Museum of Pittsburgh on the North Side on Sept. 25. At Remake Learning\u2019s annual Assembly event, dozens of organizations showcased the ways they\u2019re remaking learning with hands-on activities for kids and educators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a growing interest in this idea of ecosystems, looking at all of the many places that young people live, work and play,\u201d said Tyler Samstag, the executive director of Remake Learning. \u201cAnd Pittsburgh is really one of the originators of this idea of a learning ecosystem, so folks from all over the world have their eyes on Pittsburgh to look at how they could replicate this model. We have partners here today from Uruguay, from Kenya, that are here to experience Remake Learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Remake Learning provides grant money for organizations that are making learning more exciting and hands-on for kids.<\/p>\n
At this year\u2019s Assembly, the organization announced funding for several initiatives, including \u201cLet\u2019s Play Pittsburgh,\u201d which aims to create playful installations as part of public infrastructure, at places like bus stops.<\/p>\n
