pNow over a month into our a href=”http://projecthdesign.org/”Project H/a a href=”http://designrevolutionroadshow.com/”Design Revolution Road Show/a adventure, I’m looking back thinking how quickly it has gone by, and how chock-full-of lessons, inspiration, frustrations, and surprises it has been. On February 1st, my Project H partner-in-crime Matthew Miller and I set out in a renovated Airstream trailer on a cross-country “design for social impact tour.” What began as a book tour for my book, a href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/featured_items/design_revolution_an_interview_with_emily_pilloton_14857.asp”Design Revolution: 100 Products that Empower People/a, grew into a 75-day, 8000-mile traveling exhibition of humanitarian product design, lecture and workshop series at 35 design schools and high schools all over the US. /p

pOur goal, aside from an awesome road trip, was to inspire the next generation of creative problem solvers, and to provide them with the tools necessary to embark on meaningful, community-driven design projects in their own back yards. We’ve had run-ins with undiscovered geniuses, total nutjobs, 4-year olds and 84-year olds, and pretty much everything in between./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/design_revolution_road_show_top_10_moments_thus_far_16100.asp”(more…)/a
