What is this?

We believe that navigating ambiguity is an essential ability in creative work. Our students face a world that is complex and in flux. Equipping students to navigate ambiguity is the most essential thing we do.

Design is all about Navigating Ambiguity. When we give our students complex, open-ended, real-world challenges, they must both uncover and identify meaningful “problems” to solve, as well as figure out how to solve them in innovative ways.

In this digital library, you’ll discover resources that come from both outside and inside the d.school, and have been designed and/or submitted by different folks within our teaching community, students, and broader network. We've designed each resource page so that you can read about what we’ve tried, riff on the content to make it your own, and then share it with others.
