Design Museum Boston

I was attracted to the website by the word 'design' and their fresh look Design Museum Boston . What are they about?? Well, let me read again..Its about educating people on design and bringing designers and non-designers together. They do this through organizing events, helping to create exhibits in museums, and holding an open discussion board:  http://designingamuseum.ning.com/ .

They have this cool booklet:

Open publication - Free publishing - More vision

This blog entry is really unorganized...I'm just writing as I learn more about it. Some cool points

• They just opened their first museum on the 9th floor of Boston City Hall..see details here Creative Capital
• Designing a Difference: educate the poublic on the transformative power of design by helping non profits find innovative solutions to economic social and environemental problems. They're first collaboration is with Smallbean who runs the Citizens Archivist Project (CAP). Participants in CAP learn how to use technology as they upload video and oral recordings from interviews with their community. More info on them and the benefits of their solar suitcase here: Design Museum and Small Bean
• And they help this meeting around Massachusetts Called UNITE where designers and non-designers came together in these really modern office spaces to collaborate
