For Educators

The Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) offers professional development sessions for teachers. Each session is two hours and includes an introduction to a STEAM tool, an opportunity for teachers to try the tool out, and a discussion of how the tool can be used across platforms.

Sessions can be held at your school, at MODA, or virtually. Teachers are invited to bring their own computers to the session.

Girl Scouts

At MODA, we believe girls can change the world. Using prototyping materials and STEAM technologies, MODA’s Girl Scout workshops highlight design as an effective problem-solving tool and prepare each scout to become empathetic and innovative problem solvers of the 21st century.
