Room 402

We design learning experiences that shift mindsets towards creativity, purpose + joy. We made Dinner Party, the project-planning game for creative teachers.

@jrichardson30 @jenksbyjenks Hi Jeff! So great to hear from you. We can do that - go ahead and place your order online for 2 sets of 5 decks, and @janaunplgd will take care of you this morning. Sorry for the shipping SNAFU! All fixed.

🎨 Making us think about the difference between just learning fun things and then what #professionaldevelopment often feels like

The @OWSBobcat faculty is brilliant. So incredible to see them playing with Dinner Party! Love how it can be used in serious and *less serious* ways 😂

Well this is brilliant. If we were using Dinner Party cards, we could imagine that this is what “animation” x “natural disasters” looks like.

As a scientist I've had an "elevator speech" prepared for a few years now.

This year I made an "elevator video" & let me tell you: people enjoy seeing my research way more than just hearing about it!

So what do #beavers have to do with #wildfire? Watch (with sound) & find out!

We specialize in working with teachers! We created a #PBL game called Dinner Party that’s a cross between Apples to Apples and the most inspiring brainstorming experience ever.

@kazelltchr @PBLWorks Or perhaps the audience is whatever naturally makes sense for the project: eg writing an op-ed = newspaper readers, making a local travel guide = city hall or tourism bureau, making toys about endangered species = local preschool

@4thelongesttime Love this! It’s gorgeous framed!
