Rajan Patel, Co-Founder and CEO of DENT Education presents on design thinking and social entrepreneurship. All are welcome.
Design for Social Impact: From Global Health to Baltimore Education
Rajan grew up self-identifying as a test-taker, not a creative. However, when he stumbled upon the d.school (Stanford's center for design thinking), he discovered his own creative potential and his ability to create things and shape the world around him. Then, he was part of a team that turned a class project into a social enterprise, moved to India, and spent four years building an innovative, low-cost incubator for premature babies that has since impacted and saved the lives of over 300,000 babies across the developing world. From that experience, Rajan saw the potential in creative and hands-on education to empower individuals from all walks of life to shape the world around them, which has led him to co-found Dent Education. Now, he works with Baltimore City high school students, building their creative confidence and developing the next generation of makers and entrepreneurs. In this talk session, Rajan will chronicle his personal journey of how Design Thinking has impacted his life, and how its concepts can be leveraged to impact yours.
