How Las Vegas Is Leading the Way in Technology and Recreation — Episode 141

On today’s episode of Open Space Radio, we are diving into the
dynamic world where recreation and technology intersect. 


The Las Vegas Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs department
has always been at the forefront of innovative ideas, and today's
episode is all about one of their latest projects — the Becker
Technology Center and Recreation Park. I’m excited to be joined
by some incredible individuals who've been driving this
innovative space forward.


My guests today from Las Vegas Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Affairs are Priscilla Scott, a recreation coordinator; Phillip
Payne, a recreation leader; and Jasmine Barrett, a recreation
leader. They are joining me today from the Becker Technology
Center – and specifically from their very cool podcast studio,
which I’m a bit envious of.


Tune in to the full episode below to learn about the center and
how it’s benefiting members of the community when it comes to
bringing together the energy of play and the endless
possibilities of technology. 


You’ll also learn:


How the Becker Technology Center will increase access to
technology, recreation and learning opportunities for the
community

How the center bridges the gap between traditional
recreational activities and modern digital engagement

How the center is contributing to youth development in Las
Vegas

How the team has taken concerns around technology
contributing to a sedentary lifestyle  into account to
promote a healthy balance

How they are ensuring the center is accessible and
user-friendly for individuals of all ages, abilities and tech
proficiency levels, and much more!



Listener note: The audio at the beginning of this episode may be
a bit choppy, but listening at a slightly faster speed on your
preferred podcast player tends to help.
