Rep| is a new magazine created in collaboration with the Stanford d.school to help young people and educators understand how emerging technologies work. Through analog interactions, the workbook equips readers to ask better questions, design equitable technologies, and become better at understanding their own bias as designers and creators. This first issue of Rep, “Help! I need some BOT-y” focuses on voice bots. Through a series of articles and activities (alongside more than 20 custom illustrations), participants wrestle with how identity, race, and social status shape the tools they put into the world.

All of the work is a collective effort made possible by the d.school team, teaching community, and the students.
