Jake was a founding member of the Design Sandbox for Engaged Learning (DSEL) which is an interdisciplinary program pairing students from colleges across campus to engage in interdisciplinary courses. His current course, "Innovative Ideation" focuses on teaching the fundamentals of design thinking inspired in large part by Stanford's d.school and "Design for Extreme Affordability" course.
