Design Thinking for EducatorsOne of Cooper-Hewitt’s missions is to aid educators in seeing themselves and their students as designers. One of the ways we work toward this goal is through our Educator Resource Center, an online resource for K-12 educators, which hosts lesson plans, a conversation board, and videos of design experts speaking about best practices in design-based education. educators, Educator Resource Center, online resource, K-12, k12, lesson plans, design education, IDEO, toolkit |

Sharing design with students in the MidwestPeople often forget that Cooper-Hewitt is a Smithsonian museum and with that comes a commitment to spreading the word about design across the country. As part of our A City of Neighborhoods program we teach K-12 teachers from coast to coast how to bring design thinking into their classroom. design education, City of Neighborhoods, K-12, k12, Midwest, MIchigan |
