Harvard GSD Early Design Education Team
The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) Early Design Education (EDE) programs are crafted to engage participants with design means and methods across scales with the assumption that the program is one of the earliest experiences of thinking through making encountered. Each program interacts the breadth and depth of design talent at Harvard’s GSD with the diverse global public. Please see more information about the GSD EDE team below.

Through this Harvard GSD program, I now see the world in new ways. I discovered how design can have an impact while I achieved goals I did not know I had.
