Imagination in the Wild explores some of the many roles that informal or non-formal organizations play in shaping teaching and learning across Arizona. We talk with leaders from three organizations that support informal learning in or near Phoenix. The panel includes:
Jenny Millinger - Associate Artistic Director @ Childsplay
