Hasso Plattner Institute of Design
The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford, commonly known as the d.school, is a design school based in Stanford University, in cooperation with the German Hasso Plattner Institute of University of Potsdam.[1] According to the New York Times, the school has become one of the most highly sought destinations at Stanford.[2]
History
The school was founded by Stanford mechanical engineering professor David M. Kelley [1] and George Kembel in 2004.[3] It is a joint project between the university and the Hasso Plattner Institute of University of Potsdam in Germany.[4] Like some other design schools, it integrates business and management training into more traditional engineering and product design education.[5]
Products
Among the products launched from the Institute are the Embrace blanket, a low-cost alternative to neonatal incubators and the d.light, a solar-powered LED light now in use in some third world rural communities.[1] The Pulse News Reader was developed in a class in 2010, and became the highest-selling application at Apple's App Store.[1]
