One of the many decisions when I travel: Do I drive ~2 hours to the Jetport and take a connecting flight, or do I make the 3.5-hour haul to Boston to fly direct? I picked Boston for this trip. Somehow, my mud-covered mini-van always stands out in the Logan parking lot. -Kate

And with that....our SciEPlay work is out in the world!! We were amazed and inspired by the folks at NARST, who are ALSO thinking about science and engineering in early learning environments.
Also - is there even such a thing as a flattering presentation picture?

How lucky are we?!🥰
So inspired by the brilliance around us.
A big shout-out to our PLAY project partners from Inch by Inch Preschool and @BowdoinCollege Children’s Center! We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and co-design with such an amazing team of educators.

Classroom investigations mostly demonstrate things we want children to “know," In the #InvestigationsProject, we purposefully engage students with uncertainty about evidence and uncertainty about what claim they can make from their investigation.
