School is as much about learning new skills as it is about building your network of collaborators, inspirations, and resources to help you further your passion and purpose. DSX will help you amass a network you will bring with you through high school, college, career and well beyond.
DSX students, our learning partners are your opportunity.
the organizations below are helping build DSX...
...because without the love and support of the d.school and the K12 Lab Network, DSX would not be where it is today. Period.
...because Dr. JuanCarlos Arauz and E3 inspired the STORY piece of the X-Shaped Student--the foundation of all students. This video is aimed at representing the issues and problems the USA faces today with its current education system.
...because Shinebright is creating a platform for students and teachers to recognize their awesome and build from it. Meike and Shannon inspired the Strengths piece of the X-shaped Students--the equalizer in the classroom.
...because aManda and Gino are designing relevant and rigorously innovative programs for youth in Oakland that get them exposed to social entrepreneurship

...because these amazing folks are using human centered design to fight social inequity and helping DSX design + systematize a healing culture.

...because this learning relationship between the National Equity Project and the d.school's K12 Lab created this so DSX students and catalyst can design for equity and liberation.
...because they're thinking about education in an innovative and loving way.
...because Michael Sturtz is a pioneer of creating hyper-engaging learning environments and the explorers in the Ignition Lab are insanely awesome.

...because we have already learned so much from Ashanti and his young men. We are better for it.
