Join us for Education Day at San Diego Design Week on September 19, where we reimagine learning from K–12 to higher education and lifelong learning. Through in-person and online dialogues and activities, we’ll explore fresh perspectives on education, design, and the future of work. Education Day at San Diego Design Week will be held at UC San Diego Park & Market.
Whether you’re a parent, student, educator, or designer, come see what happens when we flip the script on education.
Education Day at San Diego Design Week is designed as a transborder collaborative space for reflection, dialogue, and co-creation across generations and sectors. This year’s theme, The Future of Learning, highlights four priority areas identified by the Educators Alliance @ Design Lab as most pressing for administrators, educators, and students from K-12 to higher education to lifelong learning:
- Learning Together: Creativity and Choice
- Beyond the Classroom: Collaboration and Community
- Connecting Learning to Real Life: Education-to-Career Pathways
- How Education Makes Us Feel: Well-being, Belonging, and Safety at School
We are also pleased to announce a partnership with Adobe for Education. Following the morning session, educators are invited to attend a free Creative Fair workshop on Friday, September 19, from 1:00–3:30 PM at Park & Market.
During this hands-on session, participants will design and reflect on creative instruction, explore responsible uses of generative AI and ways to assess creativity, and develop action plans and learning portfolios. In addition to the workshop experience, attendees will receive ACE Level 1 certifications and swag, a suite of creative artifacts, and ongoing access to special events, guided activities, and community support.
