Description

Join the Conceptual PlayLab team to find out their learnings from a five year programmatic study. Funded through the Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship scheme, the team uplifted scholarship, unleashed human potential, and became a global influencer in early childhood education. Through studying how 1700 teachers and their children experienced an intervention of a Conceptual PlayWorld, the research unlocked how imagination in play supported imagination in STEM learning. Both the findings and the methodological innovations, necessitated through COVID restrictions, are showcased in this presentation.
