Engage with Adaptive Design through group experiences
Explore Adaptive Design in Action
Adaptive design connects to critical areas of learning across disciplines and age groups. Educators looking to deepen understanding of the human body, engineering, design, health sciences, special education, early intervention, and more will find meaningful entry points through customized group experiences.
We offer field trips and presentations both at our Midtown NYC workshop and virtually, making it easy to engage in ways that best suit your group’s needs. Each visit provides a behind-the-scenes look at how accessibility, creativity, and person-centered design come together in a real-world workshop environment.
Field Trips
Local to NYC or planning a visit? This option offers an immersive, behind-the-scenes look at adaptive design in action.
During a 1.5-hour visit to our Midtown workshop, groups will:
- Take a guided tour of our adaptive design studio
- Meet members of our multidisciplinary team, including designers, fabricators, therapists, and educators
- Learn how everyday and recycled materials are transformed into adaptive tools such as chairs, tables, easels, and footrests
- Explore creative, low-cost accessibility solutions and the design thinking behind them
Field trips are centered on observation, discussion, and interactive exploration. Please note that hands-on building is not included.
We’re happy to collaborate with educators to develop pre-visit materials and provide follow-up resources to extend learning beyond the experience.
Cost:
Our recommended rate is $250 per group, with flexible pricing available. We never want cost to be a barrier. Additional contributions directly support our team, workshop, and materials, helping us continue to provide meaningful learning experiences.
Please include the age of participants, school affiliation, number of students, and preferred dates and times in your inquiry email. Field trips are offered Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM–5:00 PM, during our regular hours of operation.
Presentations
Local to NYC and prefer us to come to you, or looking for a virtual option? This is the right choice for your group.
Our team delivers engaging presentations that explore the history of adaptive design and how it functions today, incorporating real client examples to bring the work to life. Sessions are designed to spark conversation, deepen understanding, and connect adaptive design to a range of disciplines and interests.
We’re happy to collaborate with educators and organizers to tailor content and materials that align with your course, program, or focus area.

Presentation length and pricing vary based on format and needs. Please inquire for more information.
Pre- and Post-Visit Support
We work closely with educators to design preparatory materials before your visit and follow-up resources after the session. This ensures students maximize learning opportunities and can apply concepts from adaptive design, accessibility, and creative problem-solving in the classroom or at home.
