DSX is an invitation to design radically and build creative courage for equity in education. In collaboration with educators and students, we explore + experiment with the infinite opportunities within communities to bring out the best in you and your organization. Through the courageous practices of liberatory design thinking and the building crafts, the Equity Designer/Maker emerges.
