Webinar Tinkering, Treasures, & Big Ideas: Three Hands-On Pathways to Learning in Nature
September 12, 2026
9:30a.m. Central Time
Loose parts play, makerspaces, and project-based learning all foster curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving, each offering a unique pathway into children's learning. In this webinar, we'll explore what makes each approach distinctive, where they overlap, and how they can work together to support meaningful outdoor learning. Participants will leave with practical ideas for getting started, strategies for choosing the right approach for their goals, and inspiration for creating rich, child-centered learning experiences using simple materials and authentic inquiry.
This Webinar is funded by the Texas Department of State Health Services in support of the OLE! Texas initiative.
