Abstract: Abstract The Stanford Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, also known as the “d.school”, is an internationally celebrated hub of innovation. It has been active in spreading innovation culture and methods across the Stanford University community, Silicon Valley, and beyond. The d.school has created a strong culture of innovation that places hands-on, Design Thinking-based, team-based studio classes at its core. Central to the approach is its distinct perspective on design: the d.school believes that creativity can be cultivated, not just an innate quality. Anyone can be an innovative designer if they can unlock their creativity and utilize the right process. Its mission is to build creative confidence in every person who walks through its doors, and to make the design thinking method as accessible as possible.
