Suncoast Remake Learning Days, the exciting, 10-day free, regional learning festival from Friday, April 21, 2023, through Sunday, April 30, 2023, in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties, was a success! This multi-venue open house celebrated the joy of adults and children learning side by side.
Suncoast Remake Learning Days, presented by the Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading with support from The Patterson Foundation, consisted of more than 200 events over 10 days hosted by organizations, including schools, museums, libraries, after-school organizations, early child care centers, universities, media outlets, and more.
All events were free and designed to be hands-on, relevant, and engaging educational experiences for youth of all ages (PreK through high school) and their families, caregivers, and educators. Suncoast Remake Learning Days gave us the opportunity to spark learning innovation. This festival was a fun and creative way to establish and affirm parents and families as learning allies.
Learning events were grouped by the following themes: Arts, Maker Spaces, Outdoor Learning, Science, Technology, and Youth Voice. There are also Professional Development opportunities for parents and educators.
