The PLAYground

A Human Learning Lab for Innovation in Higher Education

Building the Human Workforce of Tomorrow

Disney has Pixar.   Google has X.   Humanitas has The PLAYground.

It's our Moonshot Factory;   our Human Learning Lab for innovation in higher education.   It's our Makerspace for building the Human Workforce of Tomorrow.  

The Industrial Revolution is behind us.  This revolution shaped both How and Why we do what we do in the space of higher education.  

The Human Revolution has come, and with it, an exponential change in technology.  How and why should higher education change?  What does it look like to offer new models of education built upon a new foundational reality of Human Flourishing?  

Can higher education really help people human?  What if this were the new "bulls eye" we were aiming for?  Is it time we "raise the bar" on higher education?

The PLAYground is our culture of innovation for bold, imaginative, experimentation, and observation;  all in the pursuit of Knowledge - new Knowledge.  It's where "great feets" of innovation are welcome and happening. 

 

Yes, we know we spelled that word wrong.  Is it "feats" or "feets?"  Depends on your perspective!

The PLAYground is uniquely powered and informed by a 5-fold strand of DNA.  That strand includes Design Thinking, Disruptive Innovation, Lean Startup, Exponential Organizational Theory, and Futures Thinking.

The PLAYground is a space of "We."  We welcome collaborators.  We welcome change makers.  We welcome out of the box thinkers and doers who realize how much we need others if our dreams are to become true.  We welcome imagination, fueled by that which is unconventional, new, and different.

The PLAYground is a space where "making good trouble together" is both welcome and wanted.

The PLAYground is for those who view education as a sacred trust more than a societal offering.  In this sense, The PLAYground is for those who have a calling to join and contribute to something much bigger than their self.

Caterpillars become butterflies.  People become humans.  This is the power of education and the transformation of human life.

Welcome to The PLAYground!  Welcome to the expanse of being fully human!
