The Summer Sandbox Schedule!


What’s your Dream for Jewish Education?


The Summer Sandbox is a time for you, someone who is passionate about Jewish education, to get together with those who are like-minded in order to make a project you can implement in your educational setting. Using, as RealSchool does, lots of progressive learning models, you’ll get to experience the kind of lab environment that emphasizes hard fun, iterative prototyping, serendipity by design, failing forward, big dreaming, and democratic creation. In this way, the Sandbox is a space that echoes the ethos of JEDLAB.
