Events

Two people engage with a tactile wall composed of evenly spaced white cylindrical rods, which protrude horizontally from the surface. Their outstretched hands press against the rods, creating a sense of interaction or exploration. The wall’s grid-like texture contrasts with the organic motion of the hands. A diagram or poster is partially visible in the background, suggesting a research or design exhibition setting. The image conveys interactivity, sensory experience, and experimental design.

Research Open House

Every year, Pratt’s Research Yard opens its doors to visitors for its largest event: the Research Open House. The Research Open House began in Spring 2018 with an in-person tour of a small number of research demonstrations and has grown over the years to include projects from every school at Pratt.

Events at the Research Yard

The Research Yard serves as a hub for collaboration, convening faculty, students, institutional partners, and public-sector leaders throughout the year. Events range from industry visits and policy conversations to sustainability showcases and cross-sectoral workshops, all designed to connect Pratt’s research capacity with the communities and challenges it can help address.
