About this Event
Join us at the Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle for an evening of hands-on media creation, inspiration, and collaboration at the Media Playground! This exclusive event is designed for K-12 educators across Michigan and offers the chance to:
- Explore our new media kits: Get hands-on with mobile media making gear, iPads, 360 cameras, and podcasting equipment—tools you can rent for free to use in your classroom.
- Get inspired: Visit our interactive PBS content stations, including themes like Science Journalism, Documentary Storytelling, and more. Discover new ways to integrate media education into your curriculum.
- Collaborate with fellow teachers: At our Project Pitch Station, brainstorm and submit ideas for media projects and become one of the first to use the new media kits.
- Network & connect: Meet educators from across the state, share ideas, and join the LABS community, a digital platform designed for Michigan educators to connect, collaborate, and pilot new content.
Light refreshments and beverages will be provided. We'll have lots of printed resources and fun giveaways, too!
