Sam Aquillano is Founder and Executive Director of Design Museum Foundation a national, multi-site design museum operating across three branches — Boston, Portland, San Francisco, and growing across the country.
Their mission: bring the transformative power of design everywhere, by producing inspiring exhibitions and events, educating everyone from kids to CEOs in design thinking, and transforming cities and communities through innovative public projects. Design is everywhere, so the museum has no permanent address —instead, Sam and his team turn the museum inside out and turn entire cities into locally-focused — but nationally connected — design museums built around the community. Sam will share his story and unpack what our students should know and be able to do - as they learn to be successful artists and designers in the 21st century.
