What If Play Was the Curriculum? The Case for Movement-Based Learning

What if we reimagined STEM education—not as something students sit through, but something they move through? In this engaging session, we’ll explore how movement-based learning can transform STEM classrooms by boosting engagement, deepening conceptual understanding, and fostering collaborative problem-solving. Drawing on the latest research and real classroom examples, we'll make the case for integrating physical play into the curriculum as a powerful strategy to improve outcomes in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Participants will experience hands-on activities and leave with practical strategies for incorporating movement into lessons—no gym required. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, curriculum leader, or district decision-maker, you’ll walk away energized and equipped to bring more joy, connection, and motion into STEM learning.
