D-School curriculum

The D-School, or Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford, focuses on design thinking—a creative problem-solving approach that combines empathy, creativity, and rationality. Its curriculum emphasizes collaborative, hands-on learning across disciplines, encouraging students to address real-world challenges through user-centered design processes. Students engage in projects that involve defining problems, brainstorming ideas, prototyping solutions, and testing them with users. The goal is to foster innovative thinking and practical skills, preparing individuals to tackle complex issues in various fields by designing effective and meaningful solutions.
