S2 Ep26: The Art of Learning Through Play

In this interview Aaron shares their thoughts on the power of learning environments through play as the Club Director of Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle (Aaron is also a Club alumni!). Aaron’s Club focuses on various visual and performing arts programs including creating vision boards, where kids map out their path in life.The Club also offers drama programs with a recent performance of "The Wiz." 

Aaron loves to see Club members use the arts as an outlet for joy and as a place to hold space for creativity. After school, the kids are able to release energy in a positive way as well as showcase their talents through the visual and performing arts. Aaron recalls the valuable learning experience of playing chess with strategy and movements.
