Knods Playground
At the Playground,
freedom to explore is the norm.
Mistakes can be scary, but questions left unanswered are a bother to your day. We make way for mainstreaming the act of learning anywhere, questioning the status quo, and challenging ideas by creating a space for you to explore diverse topics using our modules.
Knods Playground is a space designed to connect curious talents and communities through unique, pro-bono, community-focused projects. We curate pressing questions coming from our surroundings —schools, youth organizations, civil societies, and more —-, creating a vibrant playground for exploration and insightful discovery. Our Playground is designed to provide you safe space to make mistakes courageously and boldly test hypotheses, while gaining experience to work alongside partnering communities.
From exploring how technology intersects with cultural and social dynamics to diving into robotics, languages, human behavior, democracy, and even examining the nature of capitalism, Knods Playground offers the perfect space for our talents to learn from out-of-work projects and refine the frameworks and modules they learn from the KNODS ecosystem.
Take a peek of how we do it on our blog. Jump in as a committed, hands-on contributor, or ride along as our discussion buddies in the sharing sessions, where we dish out the juicy lessons learned from the projects for you. Invite us for a play or join our next Playground!
