d.school Class Proposal | Fall 2017

With each course, the d.school strives to offer students a spectacular, transformative learning experience. To make this possible, we ask the following:

- Courses must be team-taught by people from different disciplines
- Courses must be team-based and project-based and projects must use design thinking
- Courses must admit students from multiple departments and involve interdisciplinary collaboration within student teams

If you would like to send any additional materials (curriculum, mindmaps, etc.) that this form does not cover, please email them to mark@dschool.stanford.edu

Deadline for proposals is Friday May 26, 11:59pm.

What kind of projects are planned? How will they be structured?

Please note if you plan on engaging class partners and how that relationship will be structured.

Are you applying for an Equity and Engagement Grant?

The theme for fall qtr will be Equity and Engagement. If you could use extra resources as a way to incorporate this theme into your course, we are offering grants to support the development and execution of your class. You might choose to use this money for things such as transporting students to a project partner that would be otherwise inaccessible, or to run a prototype at a level of resolution that would be unheard of without extra money, or to incorporate artifacts, people, or learning experiences into your courses that will help you in pursuit of the Equity and Engagement theme, or… you tell us.
