Learning Unboxed

In this episode of Learning Unboxed, we're thrilled to welcome Stephanie Lewis, the Director of Relationships at Remake Learning, a network that's spearheading the transformation of education in the Pittsburgh region. Remake Learning is not just about innovative education; it's about building a community that fosters engaging, relevant, and equitable learning experiences for all. Stephanie shares the journey of Remake Learning since its inception in 2007, highlighting how it has grown into a vibrant network of over 1,200 members who are educators, innovators, and researchers all working towards a common goal.

We delve into the core strategies that drive Remake Learning: convening diverse stakeholders, coordinating efforts around emerging educational themes, catalyzing innovation through funding, celebrating the achievements of educators and learners, and communicating successes to inspire others. The discussion also explores the organization's focus on youth voices and the importance of creating learning ecosystems that support students across various contexts and environments.

Join us as Stephanie provides insights into some of the most transformative projects supported by Remake Learning, such as the Moonshot Grant Program and the annual Remake Learning Days festival. These initiatives not only showcase the potential for innovation in education but also emphasize the power of community and collaboration in reimagining how learning happens. Tune in to discover how Remake Learning is making a difference and how you can be part of this educational revolution.
