Changemaker Tara Knuth, Chief Executive Officer, Lincoln Children's Museum
Description
What if learning felt more like play?
In this episode of Agency for Change, Lyn visits the Lincoln Children’s Museum to chat with Tara Knuth, the museum’s CEO, about creating spaces where curiosity leads the way. From a brand-new “sock rink” winter wonderland to the soon-to-open LNKLab for older kids, Tara and her team are proving that fun and learning go hand in hand.
Together, Lyn and Tara explore why play is essential to building confidence, creativity, and resilience, and how the museum helps families connect, grow, and learn through experiences of pure joy. Tara also shares her personal journey from early childhood education to leading one of Lincoln’s most beloved institutions and her inspiring reminder that falling isn’t failing.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode will leave you smiling and inspired to say “yes” to play.
