In this episode of the Tattoo Teacher podcast, I had the pleasure of talking Stephen Anderson. We discuss our journey as design teachers, emphasizing the importance of creativity, learning from mistakes, and the role of design in education. We share about the significance of allowing students to fail and learn, and the impact of their experiences on inspiring future innovators. The conversation also covers Stephen's experience as a recipient of the Cooper Hewitt Design Fellowship, highlighting the museum's role in
education and design. He shares his transformative experience during the Cooper Hewitt Fellowship, where he engaged with local designers and explored innovative educational practices. He contrasts the vibrant, resource-rich
environment of New York with his current life in Regional Queensland, emphasizing the importance of high-density learning and collaboration. Stephen discusses the challenges of fostering a culture of lifelong learning and the
value of making mistakes in education. He concludes with insights on the collective intelligence of educators and the impact of education on personal growth and community.
