The Case for Play
Dear Innovative Educators,
The feet are rumbling through the halls, and the backpacks are back in their lockers. Let the play continue!
Join us for our Fall Community of Practice on Thursday, October 8th, at 4:30 PM EDT (3:30 PM CDT / 1:30 PM PDT), led by our Rigamajig Team and featuring special guest Jessica Muncy.
📚 This session, we're digging into:
Why open-ended play matters - the research behind its impact on academic success
Implementation - practical strategies for weaving open-ended play into your curriculum
Funding Rigamajig - strategies educators and leaders have used to get it into their classrooms and communities
🌟 Meet Our Special Guest!
Jessica Muncy is a California-based elementary STEM educator and mechanical engineer who designs open-ended engineering experiences for grades PK–6 that build student agency.
She has earned multiple grants supporting innovative STEM education and will bring a practitioner’s perspective on both classroom implementation and securing funding.
🙌 Who is this for?
The Community of Practice is open to current Rigamajig practitioners, as well as educators and leaders considering bringing Rigamajig to their students and community.
▶️ Can't make it live?
We know the time zones don't work for everyone, so we'll share the recording exclusively with registered participants. Save your seat either way.
See you on October 8th!
