2023 Early Learner Summer Pods

The works featured below were made by students in our Early Learner Summer Pods program, a network of Philadelphia cultural organizations that serves families and early learners with supplemental education programs that promote inquiry and provide sensory-based experiences. This summer, we partnered with the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia and Columbia North YMCA to bring our workshops to local communities.
