Hello @Beka! I have not worked too much but I am developing a curriculum based on the 4 Ps and creative thinking. What I liked is the embroidery of the Lotus Flower on my t-shirt. Here are some ideas on what to do with embroidery (knit&code).

Hi there! I am Blake Eskin and I teach in Journalism + Design at The New School in New York City. Our brief is to infuse journalism education with design methods, systems thinking, and playful pedagogy. You can check out and download our open education resources for free.

Before becoming a full time professor I was working at an ed tech company, and I’ve written a lot about games, mostly analog ones. I’m developing a playful tool for teaching mindful consumption and production of journalism.

My family likes Splendor and I Love Hue, but I can’t get any of them to learn Wingspan with me.

Hello and Namaste, friends!

My name is Rupal and I’m joining from Cambridge, MA in the US. I am so excited to connect with all of you and to learn about the ways you have been exploring creative learning in your community.

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in classrooms, out-of-school programs, and teacher education programs around the world. I’m really curious to continue to learn and explore how creative learning pathways can be empowering and healing particularly for those furthest from educational justice.

I look forward to connecting, sharing, and learning with all of you.
