Education at Cooper-Hewitt

Cooper-Hewitt’s dynamic educational programs provide insight into the ways in which design shapes our lives every day, encouraging us to understand how design can best be used to shape a positive future.

Many of the Museum’s programs present “design” as a verb, engaging audiences in the design process, and bringing participants closer to design professionals and resources. Conferences, studio visits, panels, and workshops are just some of the continuing education programs offered to public audiences. In addition, our educator programs have become models throughout the country, demonstrating the potential for design to enhance teaching and learning across the K-12 curriculum.

 

Education programs are supported in part by The Edith & F.M. Achilles Memorial Fund, the Jean and the Louis Dreyfus Foundation, and Lisa Roberts and David Seltzer.
