  About the Class

What do collector toys, kitchen utensils, fancy fabrics, igloos made of trashcans, bendable bikes, printed posters, and plastic chairs have in common? The answer: innovative design. Students in this summer's design class examined the many ways design impacts our daily lives. Beginning with 3D design, students created containers for various objects while learning from designers at KidRobot and Smart Design. Working alongside staff from MoMA's Graphic Design Department, through a series of design activities, students collaborated on the poster design for In the Making. Finally, they explored the ways in which design can be used to positively impact society by imagining their own design solutions to youth challenges. Drawing from conversations with MoMA curators as well as graphic and conceptual designers, students created a series of imaginative studio projects that demonstrated their growing understanding of the world of design that surrounds us all.
