We learn best when we learn together, the release said. Remake Learning Days will partner with local organizations to host free, hands-on, collaborative events that will energize learning from April 26 to May 14. The festival is founded on a mounting body of research showing that shared community exploration and learning improves students’ academic performance and social skills, exposing them to a world of opportunities, interests and life-changing experiences.
