Pittsburgh and Kids + Creativity Network will receive a Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award in New York City this week for "breaking the mold and creating significant impact" in education.

Attendees at this week's 2014 Games for Change Festival in New York City will hear from Pittsburgh technologists and artists about how they're using games to create connected learning opportunities for the region's students.

Ellen Cavanaugh blogs about her experience at the Sprout offices. She shares information from the presentation, as well as ways to implement tactics into professional life in this blogpost.

The Games for Change Lunch & Learn, featuring Nikki Navta and Todd Keruskin, generated quite a buzz at the Sprout offices. Participants were still deep in discussion on educational gaming as they walked out the door!
