Create Make Learn Summer PD - June 23-27



This summer Create Make Learn is partnering with the Project Design Lab to offer educators our annual week of engaging hands on professional development  June 23-27 in Burlington Vermont. 

Super excited at the possibilities that this collaboration will bring.   For those of you who have attended Create Make Learn Summer Institute before, you know the power of bringing together a cadre of creative educators for a week of creating and making while making new friends and connections.

The Project Design Lab 2025 offers 9 different strands for educators to express their creativity while designing a project plan  that leverages the power of creative engagement – making things we care about  – to inspire deeper learning and a classroom culture of creativity and collaboration.

The Create Make Learn strand will focus on 

Creativity, Circuits, and Code that Bring Stories to Life

During the week,  educators will discover the magic of combining stories with technology and leave with the confidence to guide students in designing creative projects that deepen their engagement with literature using circuits and codes.
