Inspiring students with new educational materials will become increasingly important as homeschooling continues to evolve in a post-COVID world. With this in mind, the 5G Labs team recently sourced the Smithsonian’s Open Access collections and created a new set of virtual museum exhibitions that can inspire and educate our students during these difficult times.
To expand on this effort, Verizon and Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum’s Interaction Lab will be requesting proposals from creators for interactive tools that redefine the way people visit, engage with, and learn from museums. The Creative Explorations with Smithsonian Open Access will award $10,000 commissions to up to six teams to build working prototypes.
