Since its origins in southwestern Pennsylvania in 2016, Remake Learning Days has become one of the world’s largest open houses of learning. The festival has hosted more than 3,700 events across the U.S. for pre-K through high-school learners at libraries, schools, tech centers, museums, play spaces, community centers, and more, reaching over 175,000 families.

“Our goal is to create accessible opportunities for families to learn together, to take the time to be curious together and to remember the joy of discovering something new. We’re excited for more families to experience Remake Learning Days as it takes root globally,” said Dorie Taylor, Producer of the Remake Learning Days festival.

“We admire how Remake Learning Days brings families, youth, and educators together and how it fosters a passion for learning in the community. We’re excited to host our inaugural festival and generate a shared movement to bring joy in learning to every corner of the country¨ said Cecilia de la Paz, founder and CEO of E.dúcate Uruguay.

Remake Learning Days encourages families to wonder, explore and learn together. Festival events are organized by different learning themes such as: Arts, Maker, Outdoor Learning, Science, Technology and Youth Voice. There are also Professional Development sessions for school, out-of-school, child care, and non-traditional educators. This spring, families and youth can search events by date/time, location, learning theme, age group (pre-K through high school), and more.
