Sweet Dreams Nightlight Design
The light fixture designs of the Campana Brothers feature natural and manmade materials wrapped around a central point of light. In this special program inspired by their work, children ages 2-5 will work with a parent or guardian to design and decorate a battery-powered nightlight.
Please note that this program is not suited for children under age 2.
This workshop follows the same format as our weekly Design Tales family programming.
Can I bring my group to the program?
Design Tales and Design Kids are intended for families. We are unable to accommodate groups.
What is my role as the caregiver in this program?
We require that caregivers actively participate in our workshops. Cooper Hewitt educators are present to lead and facilitate a fun family friendly design project. Caregivers are responsible for helping their child with their individual projects and manage any behavioral challenges that might be disruptive to the group. Caretakers must stay with their child for the duration of the program.
Reserving Tickets
Each program day we present the same activity during two different time slots. When you select your event, reserve your tickets for the session time that works for you. You need one ticket per person, including all children. For example, if you are bringing two kids, you will need three tickets: one for you and one for each child.
The program is full. Can I still get in?
Reservations are required to guarantee participation in Design Tales, and we do not keep a waitlist. Occasionally, however, reserved participants cannot attend the event, and there may be room in the program on the day of the scheduled event. If you were unable to reserve a spot, please arrive to the event location five minutes early and speak with our educators about joining. Please keep in mind that drop-ins are only accepted if space is permitting.
What if I’m running late?
Participants may be turned away if they arrive more than 10 minutes after the start of the program, even if they have a reservation.]
