2020 Symposia Series
Play Every Day was the largest virtual event of the mEducation Alliance Virtual Symposia series on Play and Technology for Lifelong Learning! We were delighted to attract 782 registrants and to hear from an amazing line-up of 80+ presenters from more than 25 countries highlighting a range of tech and non-tech play-based interventions for formal and non-formal educational settings. Presenters were competitively selected from both our Symposia and COVID-19 EdTech idea pitch call submissions, many of whom touched on the need for and contributions of play and games in the EdTech response to worldwide COVID-19 school closures.
As with our traditional in-person symposia, presenters and participants benefited from a variety of innovative knowledge exchange formats (e.g. keynote and show case presenters, expos, demonstrations, and gallery walks) and lots of fun game play and other networking opportunities including engaging in a virtual escape room experience and enjoying a math-focused concert.
The Alliance launched its first of a signature activities, Math Power!, at Play Every Day. Find out more about this initiative, including our series of associated virtual festivals, on the Math Power! page.
