The Power of Play and a Parent’s Instinct
Dawna Duke joined us for a conversation that shows what can happen when a parent’s instinct meets a little creativity and a whole lot of purpose. Dawna is the founder of STEMscapes Collab and Play Spaces, a company that is transforming the way kids learn and explore by bringing hands on discovery into schools, restaurants, offices, and waiting areas all over DFW.
She designs, builds, and installs these small scale kid museums so every student has access to unstructured play and real experience based learning. It is changing the way kids collaborate and how teachers create space for curiosity.
But her story does not stop there. After a school bus mix up left her four year old in tears, Dawna came up with a simple idea to keep kids safer. She created NFC keychains that let teachers and staff instantly reach parents in an emergency. It started as a quick fix for her daughter and turned into a tool that families all over North Texas are now using for peace of mind.
This is a conversation about problem solving, innovation, and what happens when someone sees a need and decides to build the solution.
