Redress is a new advanced elective being offered by the d.school. As an elective it is open to students across Stanford. There are no explicit prerequisites, but as an advanced interdisciplinary course we are looking for students who have a certain level of prior experience that they can bring to the group and who have well formed interests that motivate their pursuit of growth and learning.
This course is a selective, hands-on, design-led class at the intersection of sustainability, apparel, and material innovation. By the end of the course student teams will have developed research- and experimentation-based proposals for new-to-the-world ideas. These design proposals will respond to a pressing challenge facing humans, technology, ecosystems, and planetary systems with proof-of-concept prototypes.
