The Stanford d.school continues to expand its offering of classes and still feels like a sort of crazy start-up with all sorts of energy. For the the third year in the a row, we — not me, a our Executive Director George Kembel and a host of fantastic d.school fellows — are putting on what we call "bootcamp" informally. This class introduces Stanford master’s students to the fundamentals of design thinking. The d.school is all about building teams composed of people from diverse disciplines, so if you are a master’s student from any part of the university, please apply for the class!
