Stanford Design Thesis presentations

Tonight I got the chance to attend the thesis presentations for second year design students in Stanford’s Product Design program. It was a really fun time, with the projects ranging from playful solar-powered lights to commercializable fitness equipment. I was also impressed by the variety of the presentations, which used all sorts of mediums including video, live music, and physical product demonstrations. Unfortunately this was a private session, so I can’t write in more detail about the concepts for now, but I’m going to track down some of the students in the coming days to get their permission to write about this stuff. There’s also a public presentation this Saturday June 17th at 2pm in Annenberg Hall (I think this might be the location: http://campus-map.stanford.edu/index.cfm?ID=03-010).
