Mission Statement
The David L. Hoyt Education Foundation was formed to develop and promote play-based and collaborative learning. We recognize the need to encourage and foster education, community, and responsible citizenship. We create accessible experiences and related curricula that engage learners with fun and interactive games and puzzles. The foundation, and its team, values teamwork, fun, innovation, critical thinking, leadership, empathy, creativity, and literacy.
Description
The founders, David L. Hoyt and Claire Haasl, understand that play is endlessly important to creating global citizens who can make strategic decisions and think creatively. In order to fulfill our mission we strive to accomplish the following objectives: developing curricula for Giant Word Winder and Giant Math Winder; partnering with existing educational and community organizations; providing educational games and/or play-based tools; and providing fundraising tools for those looking to raise money for games.
We are excited that 2018 is bringing new initiatives, such as the Center for Collaborative Learning at 4054 N. Lincoln Ave in Chicago, IL, which moved from its old location and officially opened its doors in April of this year.
