This past Sunday was a full day of community outreach events for HITN/ELC! Exciting events took place in two different states:

Members of the outreach team worked alongside Radio Disney to showcase the Pocoyo PlayGround at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. It was a great opportunity to meet many people and share elements of the PlayGround in a festive environment. Children and parents enjoyed experiencing activities including the Things That Go PlaySet digital application, the big interactive story book, Pocoyo music and videos, and various character coloring sheets. This event was also the debut of the Pocoyo Passport, a transmedia activity book that guides parents and children through fun learning activities both on paper and on the Web PlayGround.

HITN/ELC was also at St. Francis Assisi Catholic School in Brooklyn, NY, participating in an open house for parents and prospective students. Outreach team members engaged participants with puzzles and the tablet application from the Things That Go PlayGround.

All in all, it was a great day for raising awareness about the project, meeting new people, and watching children get excited about playing and learning with the PlayGround!
