About the event

Day of Design
How can design be implemented across diverse subject areas and disciplines in K-12 education?

Through engaging, hands-on workshops and a panel featuring creative practitioners in STEM, this community-focused event for educators will explore essential design skills at the core of Day of Design's curriculum: storytelling, iteration, and collaboration.

This event is presented by the Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) and the MIT Museum, with support from the WPS Institute and the MIT pK-12 as part of Day of Design, an initiative offering free, open source curriculum resources and hands-on design activities for classrooms.

In an era of rapid change, design education equips students with essential skills for navigating uncertainty: critical thinking, clear communication, and adaptive problem-solving. Unlike traditional course material, design introduces the notion that there are many ways to solve or address a challenge, and bridges theory and practice for real-world applications.

At MIT, we work to celebrate and amplify the power of design as a cornerstone of education. MIT students apply design across a wide range of disciplines from biology to engineering, humanities to architecture; with Day of Design, we want to empower young people in K-12 with the same toolkit.

This event will bring together K-12 teachers and administrators, members of the MIT community, and Cambridge and Boston-area K-12 design educators to build meaningful relationships and share insights.
