The Chicago Learning Exchange (CLX), Local Lead Partners—WTTW Kids, Project Exploration, Chicago Public Schools Family and Community Engagement, Chicago Park District—and Event Hosts will turn Chicago into an open house learning laboratory online and in-person.

Chicago Learning Days  will be focused on our region but connected to a national conversation with partners like Remake Learning Network, PBS KIDS and Digital Promise, Common Sense Media  and Learning Heroes. Thank you to all our Event Hosts—without your year around work Chicago Learning Days would not be possible.
