From February through April 2010, the Design Revolution Road Show is bringing a lecture series and traveling exhibition of "design that empowers people" to 25 universities and high schools across the United States. The undertaking is conceived by San Francisco-based design nonprofit Project H Design. The road show features a biodiesel-powered truck and Airstream trailer exhibition of 40 humanitarian design solutions (parked in front of CCA's main San Francisco campus building from 11 a.m.–6 p.m.) and a public lecture at 4 p.m. in Timken Lecture Hall.
Featured design solutions range from homemade water filters made in the developing world to user-friendly blood glucose monitors, mobility tools for the elderly, and educational toys for mentally challenged children. Each product is an example of how design can enable and improve life, rather than simply take up space as a commodity or an accessory.
By bringing the Design Revolution Road Show specifically to students, Project H hopes to make a stronger connection between education and design: promoting provocative and socially relevant subject matter, encouraging problem solving through design, and empowering the next generation of creative problem solvers to apply their skills to improve life on a global scale.
The Design Revolution Road Show is a Project H Design initiative and has been made possible through the support of the Adobe Foundation and Sappi Paper's Ideas That Matter Grant Program.
