Cooper Hewitt's Pen: Hands-On Design You Can Take Home With You
Submitted by Alina Adams on
Cooper Hewitt, America’s only museum dedicated exclusively to historic and contemporary design, has reopened after a three-year renovation. Among its new additions is The Pen, a revolutionary, high-tech way for visitors to learn about design by becoming designers themselves.
Naturally, my husband (an MIT-trained engineer), my 15-year-old (budding architect), my 11-year-old (computer geek), my eight-year-old (she likes pretty things) and I (procurer of tickets) were there the weekend The Pen debuted to check it out.
