The MIT Education Arcade Presents Sandbox Summit® 2010:
iPlay, YouPlay, WiiPlay
How Play Is Changing Media & Media is Changing Play May 18-19th, 2010
Cambridge, Massachusetts
First there were blocks. Then there was LEGO. Now there are apps. Kids today move seamlessly through multiple
dimensions in their pursuit of fun. Today's tech play will all-too-soon become tomorrow's traditional play.
What impact do emerging media platforms have on how play evolves? What role do young players have in shaping
their playthings? Can a Wii teach playground rules? Is an ebook a phonics friend or foe? Is an avatar real?
Come hear what the innovators in children's media, books, toys, virtual worlds, and education predict are the
new playrooms for 21st century literacy. Step into the revolutionary world of kids'
play. And get a grip on the future of fun.

Welcome and Keynote Presentation: Andy Berndt, Google Creative Lab
Andy Berndt, creative lab guru at Google, tells how turning a box of used bike parts into a functioning bike led him to connect a panoply of new ideas. If we want our kids to be able to function in organizations that respect creativity, critical thinking, and out-of-the-box solutions, how can we help them develop the skills they need to get there?
