Unboxed Workshops and Conferences
Our events focus on helping students rediscover the joy of thinking — through discussion, experimentation, reflection, and shared curiosity — rather than performance or assessment.
What happens in our events:
– We work with students, libraries, and schools to implement the lessons that Unboxed teaches.
– Students lead sessions, mini lessons, presentations, discussions, and workshops.
– We focus on teaching transferable skills to younger students, such as independent learning strategies, critical thinking, and reflective thinking.
