d.School Creativity in Research Scholars (CIRS)

The d.School CIRS program is a year long fellowship where we learn all about design thinking and how to use it for research. Highly recommend!


The CIRS program is deeply participatory, rigorous, and meant for doctoral students that are eager to use creative practices and interdisciplinary collaboration to create impact. I learnt a bunch of things no one ever teaches upfront, especially –

  • the power of empathetic interviews,
  • importance of embracing ambiguity and
  • finding excitement in the potential that exists in undefined and ever-evolving opportunity spaces

Special shout-out to our cohort who made the experience truly wonderful!
