At the High Museum of Art, discover how the design-thinking process was used in the creation of the Children’s Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and how it is used in exhibitions at the High Museum of Art. We’ll explore the 5 phases of design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test – and discuss how each stage is important when creating an engaging exhibition. What topics could your students explore through the creation of an interactive exhibition experience? Parking is not included with registration.
