Makers Playground is a space where attendees experience authentic learning in a makers environment.

Join in the fun at TeachMeet, hosted by Digital Learning and Teching Victoria (DLTV), as teachers jump up from the crowd to deliver short, sharp talks on a range of teaching and learning ideas. Walk away with ideas to use in the classroom right away, a new colleague to bounce ideas off and a bit of inspiration.
