A place where people use design thinking to solve big problems

The d.school is a place for project teams to tackle difficult, messy problems. The prototypes produced in the d.school include objects, software, experiences, performances, and organizations. They are imperfect and ever-evolving solutions.

We use design thinking to tackle hard social problems: Stop drunk driving. Build better elementary schools. Develop environmentally sustainable offerings.

And we aim to tackle hard industry problems that demand interdisciplinary solutions: Make commercial airplane travel less oppressive. Design enterprise software that actually helps people and organizations. Make waiting in line more fun.

This year represents an important evolution of our projects and classes. Our current activities include bootcamps, classes, and labs, which aim to provide experiences in design thinking, to increase everyone's confidence in their own personal innovation process, and to make a contribution to the world.
