Engage with cutting-edge thinking about the future of education through this event from Stanford d.school's K12 Lab Network, one of the most respected innovation labs working at the intersection of design thinking and K-12 education. The K12 Lab Network at Stanford's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) has been at the forefront of bringing human-centred design methodologies into schools, helping educators and students develop the empathy, creativity, and iterative problem-solving skills that are essential for navigating complex challenges. This event continues their tradition of offering educators practical frameworks and fresh perspectives on teaching, learning, and school design. Stanford d.school events typically bring together educators, designers, and researchers for interactive experiences that model design thinking in action. Participants don't just learn about innovation — they experience it firsthand through hands-on activities, collaborative problem-solving, and reflective practice that can be translated directly into their own school contexts. The K12 Lab Network's work is grounded in the belief that schools should be places where students develop agency, creativity, and the ability to tackle real-world problems. Their professional development experiences help educators reimagine what's possible in their classrooms and schools, providing both inspiration and practical tools for change. Visit the Stanford d.school events page for full details on this session, including specific topics, format, and registration information. This event is ideal for school leaders, instructional designers, and educators interested in bringing design thinking approaches into their practice.
