​BTC 03 — MU & Body.Scratch present: Play in Learning

​For Who?

​For PO & VO educators curious about creative yet effective ways of facilitating and teaching STEAM/STEM.

We’ve put together a series of 12 free active conversations and workshops, with local partners to help inspire and empower primary and secondary school educators, with hands-on solutions that respect the body and mental health of students in their 21st century learning journey.

​​​

​​​Monthly theme: Play in Learning

​How do students really learn? And what keeps them motivated — especially when topics become complex or abstract?

​This month, we explore the relationship between play, motivation and learning. Play is a natural way of learning. Through games and interactive experiences, young people learn to experiment and problem-solve. Not just because it’s fun, but because play is structured: with goals, feedback and rewards. What can we take from this and apply in the classroom?

​During this session, we will reflect on questions such as:

​✅ How do you know when students truly understand what they are learning?

​✅ What role can play and games have alongside traditional teaching methods?

​✅ How do you keep students engaged in a world full of constant stimulation?

​✅ How can play help students to interact with art?

​✅ On what terms do we allow games in the classroom?

​✅ Which principles support responsible and meaningful learning in primary and secondary education?
