Innovative Play Spaces Design focuses on the creation of dynamic and engaging environments tailored for children’s play and learning. Participants will explore the principles of design thinking, environmental psychology, and child development to craft spaces that stimulate creativity and foster social interaction. The course emphasizes hands-on projects that allow learners to apply theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios, culminating in a final project that showcases their innovative designs.
Throughout the program, students will engage in collaborative discussions and interactive workshops aimed at enhancing their design skills. By the end of the course, participants will have developed a comprehensive portfolio of work that not only highlights their design capabilities but also prepares them for professional opportunities in education, architecture, and community planning. The course encourages the publication of outcomes in Cademix Magazine, providing a platform for participants to share their insights and innovations with a broader audience.
