Miller wins Professor James L. Adams Creativity Award

This award is given annually to a graduating student who has done inspirational, creative work in the Stanford Product Realization Laboratory. Nominations and selection are made by the community of currently appointed PRL CAs.

Jim was a prolific thinker and writer, whose teaching combined scholarship in creativity, engineering prowess, and aesthetic sensitivity; enlightening thousands of students to both technical and human issues in engineering design. His leadership transformed our student shops into today’s world-class PRL. In fact, without Jim Adams there would be no PRL.


This 2nd annual Award goes to Barrett Miller, a remarkably creative individual whose artisanship shines through his work at the Product Realization Lab.  His passion for crafting and attention to detail result in beautifully executed projects that inspire others. Moreover, Barrett's generous spirit is evident in his willingness to share his expertise and is a source of inspiration for fellow makers.


Barrett, your 2022-2023 PRL CAs salute you!
