Events for September 30, 2026

Bringing together a current co-op student, educator, practitioner/employer, and academic leader, this conversation offers perspectives from different points along a creative life. Together, we’ll challenge the idea that students are the learners while seasoned professionals have all the answers. We’ll explore how curiosity prompts us to take risks, change direction, reconsider what we know, and keep evolving throughout our careers.

How do you bridge the gap between a 180-year-old telescope and today’s modern audiences? The team at the Cincinnati Observatory is doing exactly that. In this session, we will explore the intersection of physical and digital product design, diving into how the Observatory masterfully connects historical preservation with cutting-edge user engagement.
