1. What is Chicago Learning Days?

Chicago Learning Days is Chicagoland’s festival to connect youth and families to learning opportunities. By participating in Chicago Learning Days, youth and families gain awareness of innovative experiences to develop their sense of creativity, perseverance and curiosity. These learning events across Chicago are designed to be hands-on, relevant and engaging educational experiences for youth of all ages (pre-K through young adults) and their families, caregivers and educators. They also develop 21st century, deeper learning skills like communication, critical thinking, etc. The majority of events are free and open to kids of all ages.
