Remake Learning Days-KC

Be part of Remake Learning Days KC 2024!

Remake Learning Days is a multi-day, multi-location festival of innovative learning, featuring fun and free events for youth of all ages. Families can come together to experience making, new technology, art workshops, science experiments, robotics, outdoor learning and more from May 1-16 all across the Kansas City region.

Remake Learning Days-Kansas City focuses on our region but is connected to a global movement that began with Pittsburgh’s Remake Learning Network in 2016 and expanded to regions as far away as Uruguay, the United Kingdom and New Zealand in 2023.

About Remake Learning Days

Remake Learning Days is a celebration of innovative experiences and opportunities for youth to develop their sense of creativity, perseverance and curiosity. The festival features events and activities hosted by a variety of organizations, such as schools, museums, libraries, after school organizations, early child care centers, universities, media centers, tech startups and more.  These experiences are designed to be relevant and engaging for youth of all ages and their families, caregivers and educators. The majority of events are free and in person.

Events are organized by different learning themes such as: Arts, Maker, Outdoor Learning, Science, Technology and Youth Voice. Families and youth can search events by  date/time, location, learning theme, age group (pre-K through high school) and more on the Kansas City page of the Remake Learning Days website.
