Science of Learning Center Initiatives for Translational Science: The Ultimate Block Party and LEARNABSTRACTThe purpose of this project is to bring representatives of the Science of Learning Centers together to discuss ways to disseminate the rapidly accumulating science of learning to the lay public and to educators. Scientists who study how children learn have long known that play and playful engagement is the source of much learning that prepares children for success in school and in life. Research indicates that when learning takes place in a playful manner, it can be extended to solve problems in new situations, it is retained longer, and it gains additional meaning as it links up to what learners already know. The broad goal of the proposed workshop is to increase the amount, the nature, and the effectiveness of outreach on the science of learning to the lay public and to educators. Through attendance at the Ultimate Block Party in New York City -- a radical new form of scientific dissemination -- and a subsequent workshop, representatives from Science of Learning Centers will pursue three goals: To increase cooperation between the Centers for improving and expanding outreach to the community (both local and national); to observe and evaluate how families engage in playful, informal learning at the Ultimate Block Party; and to develop new ways to communicate the nuggets of science to the public. The significance of this project is that it contributes to America's future. America needs to educate its citizens about the science of learning so that the next generation of individuals to enter the work force 30 years hence have the skills required to succeed. Families and educators must understand how children learn best to be able to provide them with the experiences that foster the development of the competencies demanded in the 21st century workplace. The days when children could learn just the '3Rs' have passed; tomorrow's children need to know content as well how to collaborate and communicate across international lines, how to engage in critical thinking to question and integrate vast amounts of information, and how to have the creativity and confidence to persevere that have been key to America's economic strength.

科学学习中心的倡议转化科学：最终块党和学习摘要这个项目的目的是把学习中心的科学代表聚集在一起，讨论如何传播迅速积累的科学学习，以外行公众和教育工作者。 研究儿童如何学习的科学家们早就知道，游戏和游戏参与是许多学习的来源，为儿童在学校和生活中取得成功做好准备。 研究表明，当学习以一种有趣的方式进行时，它可以扩展到解决新情况下的问题，它可以保留更长的时间，并且随着它与学习者已经知道的东西联系起来，它会获得额外的意义。 拟议的研讨会的广泛目标是增加数量，性质和有效性的宣传科学的学习，以外行公众和教育工作者。 通过参加在纽约市举行的终极街区聚会--一种全新的科学传播形式--以及随后的研讨会，学习科学中心的代表将实现三个目标：（包括地方和国家）;观察和评估家庭如何在终极街区派对上进行有趣的非正式学习;并开发新的方式向公众传播科学的精华。 这个项目的意义在于它有助于美国的未来。美国需要教育其公民学习科学，以便下一代人在30年后进入劳动力市场时拥有成功所需的技能。 家庭和教育工作者必须了解孩子如何最好地学习，以便能够为他们提供促进21世纪工作场所所需能力发展的经验。 孩子们可以学习“3R”的日子已经过去了;明天的孩子们需要知道内容以及如何跨国际线合作和沟通，如何进行批判性思维以质疑和整合大量信息，以及如何拥有创造力和信心来坚持美国经济实力的关键。
