Imagination PLAYce is a community space located within Pitt's School of Education and was developed to support learners of all ages and contexts to engage in imagining, creating, making, and playing, in service of deep learning and participation. Our work is focused on bringing digital media, technology, and arts and crafts together. Play in this space is broadly conceived: playing with ideas, modalities, modes, stories and characters, perspectives, materials, genres, and so on.
Our team is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty members, and we are looking for more partners! Reach out if you are interested in learning more about our work.
