Remake Learning Days 2024

Remake Learning Days is a joyful celebration of hands-on learning events across Pennsylvania.RLD launched in May 2016 in Pittsburgh, PA as the largest open-house for families featuring hands-on learning. In 2024, RLD will take place in northwestern PA, throughout the entire commonwealth of PA, across America, and internationally in Christchurch, NZ, Doncaster, UK, and Uruguay!

Consider hosting a family-engaging learning event (virtual OR face-to-face) related to one or more of these themes: arts, maker, outdoor learning, science, tech, and youth voice. Events can be for any age group – from age pre-K through high school. The goal is to create an event calendar of 100+ events with schools and community partners across Northwest PA where parents and caregivers can learn alongside their kids, find new interests and passions and make new community connections. Event Host awards ($250/$500) will be available to offset the costs of hosting an event.

With the festival being held in May, many organizations use these events as opportunities to showcase work from the school year, highlight opportunities for youth during the summer or year, or engage parents and families alongside their children.
