Ooooh go to MoMath - it's all incredibly interesting and playful math experiences: https://momath.org

I'm so jealous!

If you need to meet with me one-on-one, sign up for a slot here - slots open 2 weeks in advance. If you wish me to write you a letter of recommendation, or to act as a reference, you *must* have a one-on-one meeting with me to discuss your needs and goals - so make sure you sign up!

I am always behind on emails - the classic distracted professor, but at least I'm good at being co-present in person, even if I'm terrible at presence asynchronously. I'm really sorry about this, and working at getting better, but if I haven't responded to an email within a week, please feel free to send a follow-up. Thank you, and sorry :(

Suggestions for New York City?

Kim Gillis <kimgi...@gmail.com>: May 03 05:23AM -0700 Hello! I have a curiosity for anyone who is familiar with New York City... I am planning some travel there this summer, and I would love to have your suggestions for places a 'playful professor' should visit? I have the list of all the common/popular touristy places, but are there any hidden gems I might find to fill my playful professor nerdy cup? ;)   Thank you, in advance, for any ideas!!

Lisa Forbes <lisak...@gmail.com>: May 03 06:25AM -0600 Hello Kim,   I've been doing some research on play places so I have a few on my list around NY. I have not been to any of these but they are things I am aware of:     -   Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester -   Museum of Failure (seems playful :)) in Industry City in Brooklyn -   The Art of Graffiti in Brooklyn

Laura Baecher <lhba...@gmail.com>: May 03 08:31AM -0400 Hi Kim!   I am here in NYC. The two second ones sound great on Lisa's list! First one is in Rochester which is great but 10 hours from here :-)   MOMA right now for sure.   Do a MET museum scavenger hunt-can be found online and they have a great teacher resource center.   Queens Museum has a great miniature city of NY that does day and night very fun. They often have hands on activities.   Museum of the city of New York-games and play from past times.   Tenement museum you embody an immigrant family from the turn of century and experience life there at that time.   Just off the top of my head-   Enjoy!!   Dr. Laura Baecher   Professor | Department of Curriculum & Teaching | School of Education   Programs in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)   Faculty Fellow | Academic Center for Excellence in Research and Teaching (ACERT)   Hunter College of the City University of New York   695 Park Avenue, W1121   New York, NY 10065   Email: lbae...@hunter.cuny.edu   On May 3, 2023, at 8:26 AM, Lisa Forbes <lisak...@gmail.com> wrote:      Hello Kim,   I've been doing some research on play places so I have a few on my list around NY.

Hi! 

NYer here. Check out Math Museum https://g.co/kgs/ZAbDPT and New York Hall of Science https://g.co/kgs/Qio5Mo . Museum of Natural History https://g.co/kgs/AUUYrU has some play opportunities.

Have a good visit!

[Sharon Peck]

I'd like to add that the Spy Museum in NYC is really a hoot! All hands on active and immersive. 

And, I live in Rochester and would be happy to share my guest room with any playful professors who want to come and see the Museum of Play. It is a lot of fun, and we now have two arcade-centered eateries and two very active game stores. There is a walk of play that provides interactive structures as you walk from the Museum of Play to the central library.  We also have a top-notch Science Museum, Zoo and Art Museum and some worth seeing historic sites.
