Are you doing work in the social sector? Do you find yourself seeking new ways to solve complex challenges you face daily? Then this post is for you. Human-centered design practices can help you have a real impact on your work, but good design work is often predicated on one thing: Effectively scoping your design work. How you think about the work—how you "scope" the work—can make a big difference in the possibilities uncovered and impact created. At the d.school we find this to be one of the most impactful skills to develop and refine, and also one of the skills most under-taught. ▪ If scoped too broadly, your work can consume your (already) precious resources, and fail to lead you towards actionable insights. ▪ If scoped too narrowly, your design work can limit your ability to bring creativity and innovation to the challenge at hand. We've found some of our most valuable coaching and teaching is in this realm of helping practitioners scope and plan the design work for their projects. This is why, over the last year, the d.school has worked on designing and developing Scopey. Scopey is an AI-supported tool intended to serve as your human-centered design scoping coach, helping to replicate how our workshop facilitators teach and train participants to scope their work. We’re offering the chance to learn more about Scopey in our upcoming multi-session workshop which starts next week, “Putting Design Into Practice for Social Impact.” Participants will be some of the first to access this tool, and will even be able to test it out on some of their own projects.

Super excited to launch a new issue of Rep Magazine for The Stanford d.school!! Had a lot of fun working on this one and couldn’t have done it without amazing collaborators and clients! Let me know what you think! 😊 Full project here: https://lnkd.in/ewKPdAFk Available to order here: https://lnkd.in/eKyF8MaM ‘In this issue of Rep, readers enter the world of Constella, a world made up of algorithms and datasets that readers get to design and shape! By playing this game, readers better understand how algorithms affect our lives and how they can become a designer of them, shaping the world around us.’ 📚✏️ Big shout out to the amazing Nan Cao and Sena Kwon for their beautiful illustration work!! And the team Megan Stariha, Carissa Carter, Ariam Mogos, and Isabel Huff for helping to bring this to life! 🙏 Cover art, location entries, and spot illustrations: Nan Cao Gameboard map and section page spot illustrations: Sena Kwon

How can educators and designers cultivate learning experiences that prepare us for a future that is constantly unfolding? In a world where the pace of technological change accelerates, what roles do emotion and creativity play in shaping our educational paradigms? Carissa Carter + Scott Doorley join Louka Parry on The Learning Future pod to discuss their book Assembling Tomorrow. They delve into the heart of speculative design and its implications for education and future thinking, how it can act as a powerful tool in educational settings, allowing both educators and students to experiment with future scenarios in safe and meaningful ways.

Five things on the week: 1. I already knew the statistic that if Stanford University were its own country in the Olympics it would have tied with Canada for 11th place overall. But I just about lost it this week when I learned that among those Stanford Olympians, design/product design majors had the most medals (7) and most golds (4)! 2. We had our own The Stanford d.school Olympics this week (I think it was our fourth staging of the games-new events every time), and the competition got heated. For me at least. And luckily the gods of counting off put me with Laurie Moore, Justin Hino, and Lisa Kay Solomon, because we all brought it on every event. Ball pit footsie? Easy. Blind bean bag calendar toss? Bam, three times in row. Tunnel tower egg balance? We did it while fending off dragons. Scenario improv? The judges loved us. 3. And even though we left it all on the floor of the space we were using for the offsite, we still came in second place. It was so close, only 0.25 from gold. But that’s second. There was quite a gradient in trophy sizes between first and second. Here’s Louie Montoya doing his best to hold up his first place urn, complete with Manasa Yeturu who was compelled to underline it because a win this big needs to come with fanfare. If anyone wants the single piece of candy that fits in my second place trophy bowl, come to my office hours. 4. In reflecting on why I like competition so much, I think it’s because I care. Whether it’s a whimsical work game or an athletic event or trivia, I love working towards something. I love that even with all the preparation in the world there will be obstacles to navigate in the moment. I love giving it my all. I love the camaraderie. 5. That camaraderie was in full display at the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation - MMRF’s Race for Research. Team Carter showed up strong. I’m proud of us. I’m proud of everyone. Big trophy energy to every patient, those supporting or remembering family, and all who work towards finding a cure.

An incredible week of learning at The The Stanford d.school The Studio week was packed with impactful , surprising, lighthearted yet tough learning exercises. My big takeaways; How we learn is as important as what we learn. Learning should be joyous ( not sometimes), Everytime! Diversity is a great way to know just how unique you are. That Design ( like life) means different things to different people. That design is not just making aesthetic products, user experiences or services, Design is an attitude of resourcefulness and inventiveness. It can change behaviours, make everyone feel belonged and help navigate a “ fractured, polarised world” It’s ok to “feel”. That it’s alright to live and breathe human- ness, in times of technological hype! That collaboration is not just a word Its easy to be understood as well as to understand It’s ok to have childlike ,innocent, unprejudiced, naive questions in times of expert answers. That it’s ok to be kind ( “kindness is not weakness’) It’s not too hard to imagine ❤️ Thankyou Dr Indu Shahani Dean Chang Erica Estrada-Liou Leticia Britos Cavagnaro, PhD Lisa Maione Dr. Lisa Lipkins, M.B.A, DBA Aurelia Donald, PhD Liliana Bove Duane Arbogast, Ed.D.
