Traveling Exhibit: Products that Empower
The Spring 2010 Design Revolution Road Show is a traveling exhibition and lecture series bringing “product design that empowers” to 25 U.S. high schools and universities. The road show features a biodiesel-powered truck and Airstream trailer exhibition of 40 humanitarian design solutions, sponsored by Project H Design.

The program brings to students evidence of and tools for design for social impact, with the ultimate goal of empowering the next generation of creative problem-solvers to apply their skills to the world’s most pressing problems and improve life on a global scale.
