Teachers Discover Design Thinking
Cooper-Hewitt's Education team spent an amazing week in New Orleans with 26 educators from New York City, San Antonio, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. Although their day jobs include teaching subjects from across the curriculum, including math and science as well as social studies and history, the teachers all became designers for the week and solved a design challenge that focused on school improvement. Working in teams, the educators designed and presented prototypes ranging from apps that help teachers de-stress, a system to help drop-outs reconnect to school, and reconfigured schools that can also serve as community spaces.

Renovation News
A new copper dormer was just installed on the roof of the Carnegie Mansion as part of the larger project that includes exterior restoration and copper roof repairs. The new copper stands out dramatically from the 110 year old historic roof, but over time will meld with the historic copper. The new dormer was installed over a window after an elevator head house, that was not original to the historic Mansion, was removed from the roof. |
