Education at Cooper-Hewitt

Educator and Community Programs

Educator and Community Programs

The Museum’s award-winning, nationally recognized education programs encourage students and teachers to see themselves as designers in their own right as they engage in the design process through active observation, discussion, strategies for visual communication, and critique. Design enthusiasts—professionals and non-professionals alike—are served through lectures, conferences, concerts, symposia, design studio visits, New York City walking tours, regional day trips, and workshops.
