Ottiya Play Issue

In the Ottiya Magazine Play Issue, we are exploring the intersections of play and learning. We are curious about how education innovators all over the world understand play from multiple facets. Together with our contributors, we explore questions such as: what kind of objects allow for free play? How is tinkering related to play? What are the challenges of designing places for play? How can we help students to create playful experiences in virtual reality instead of limiting them as consumers?
