NYCxDESIGN is guided by core values of community, creativity, inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable design for the greater good. Beyond our annual Festival, our year-round programming provides a platform for NYC’s diverse design talent, from students and emerging designers to seasoned professionals. Each program fosters connection, education, and inspiration, empowering the next generation to use design as a powerful tool for positive impact and addressing the world’s most pressing needs.
In celebration of NYCxDESIGN, join us for a few rounds of Design Around Town, an exclusive Cooper Hewitt board game! Bring your family and come up with creative solutions to design challenges set in an ice cream shop, a school, a stadium, and more.
Family drop-in activities are designed for youth ages 5–12 and their adult guardians or caregivers. These programs are included with museum admission, and visitors 18 and under are always free.
Explore the exhibition Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial with our Kids Gallery Guide, available on-site.
