A Kurzushét a MOME egyik legintenzívebb és legizgalmasabb formátuma: egy hét, amikor a kreativitás, a tanulás és a közösségi munka koncentráltan találkozik. A 2026. tavaszi kurzushéten a műhelymunka mellett kiállítások, nemzetközi szimpóziumok és artist talkok váltották egymást, miközben különböző szakok hallgatói és oktatói interdiszciplináris keretek között dolgoztak együtt. A kínálat az AI-tól és a robotikától a hangon, animáción és fotográfián át az építészetig és a fenntartható anyagkísérletekig ívelt, a hangműhelyektől az építészeti és kiállításkészítési koncepciókig. Számos kurzus nemzetközi együttműködésben, vendégoktatók részvételével valósult meg. A programot nyilvános prezentációk zárták, amelyeken bárki betekinthetett az egyhetes intenzív munka eredményeibe.
