A Texas-sized investment into themed play

In Spring 2022, residents of Humble, Texas, approved a $775-million bond proposal to fund facility improvements and technological enhancements for their rapidly expanding town, just 20 miles outside Houston. Understanding that learning through movement is equally important as the lessons in the classroom, the Humble Independent School District (ISD) plans to bring themed play to all 30 of its elementary schools.

“Children have responded tremendously to extra playground time. They love to be out here, they want to be out here. It’s a powerful motivator.”

Dr. Elizabeth Fagen, Superintendent

Explore rain forests, trek national parks, and more!

In collaboration with the KOMPAN Design Studio, Humble ISD takes their students to the rain forest, national parks, ski resorts, and elsewhere on factually-accurate themed playground equipment. As students discover new animals, plants, and landmarks on the playground, they engage in an educational experience that complements their learning in the classroom.
