Annual Learning Festival
About Remake Learning Days
Remake Learning Days (RLD) is a celebration of innovative experiences and opportunities for youth to develop their sense of creativity, perseverance and curiosity. In 2025, we are celebrating 10 years!
Wonder, Explore and Learn Together.
Launched in 2016, Remake Learning Days is a celebration of learning! This festival of events is hosted by a variety of organizations, such as schools, museums, libraries, after school organizations, early child care centers, parks, universities, media centers, tech startups and more. These events are designed to be hands-on, relevant and engaging educational experiences for youth of all ages (pre-K through high school) and their families, caregivers and educators. The majority of events are free and open to kids of all ages. Kids become more interested in the learning process when a caring adult is learning with them. With that in mind, events are designed for a parent/caregiver to learn alongside their kids and to wonder and explore together.
In 2019, RLD started to take root in other regions, including international locales and pop-up events in non-festival regions. In 2025, RLD is celebrating its 10th anniversary and taking root in 15 regions across the world. RLD is powered by Remake Learning and its fiscal sponsor is the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh.
Explore Events by Learning Themes, Age Groups, and More for Families, Youth, and Educators
Events are organized by different learning themes such as: Arts, Maker, Outdoor Learning, Science, Technology and Youth Voice. In addition, there are Professional Development sessions for school, out-of-school, child care and non-traditional educators. Families, youth and educators can search events by date/time, location, learning theme, age group (pre-K through high school), tags and more. Come back in February 2025 to begin exploring RLD events.
RLD Learning Themes
How do we prepare kids to thrive in a world of constant change? Today’s students must learn how to learn, be curious on how different topics intersect and be confident in their inner creativity.
Remake Learning Days is one of the world’s largest open house for hands-on learning for youth, families, grandparents and educators to discover creative ways of learning. To help navigate all the events, below are different learning themes. Please note that events may feature multiple learning themes.
Arts
Arts features hands-on learning and expression through all kids of art including: theatre, dance, visual art, music, photography, and more!
Maker
“Making” is about taking things apart and putting it back together. Tinker, build, and create with all kinds of materials. Try a 3D printer, take apart a toy to see what’s inside and then rebuild it, or create a marshmallow tower!
Outdoor Learning
Outdoor Learning is about experiencing and learning about the natural world. How can we think about the environment, sustainability, and more by exploring our very own back yards?
Science
Science is all about experimentation! Kids and adults can explore chemistry, biology, geography and more. How does our world work? What can we test and explore in the world around us?
Technology
Technology gives kids the chance to explore their digital world. Want to try coding? Build robots? Learn circuitry? Look for technology events that help you discover new things.
Youth Voice
Youth Voice is about youth leadership and amplifying youth voice. Youth have the ability to express themselves in so many ways such as: through audio, video, art, music, and more. Youth voice-related events highlight how youth express themselves in their own ways.
Professional Development
For traditional and non-traditional educators, credited and non-credited professional development featuring STEAM-inspired learning is offered by various organizations.
