Leticia Britos Cavagnaro

Leticia Britos Cavagnaro, PhD, is a scientist-turned designer on a mission to defy assumptions about what education looks like and what it can achieve. She uses emerging technologies to create learning adventures that transcend the walls of the classroom and empower learners to be self-directed, action-oriented, and reflective. Leticia is the co-founder and co-Director of the University Innovation Fellows, a program of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school), which empowers students to be co-designers of their education. In addition to teaching graduate students from Stanford’s Design Impact MS program, Leticia works with educators from hundreds of schools and across disciplines in transforming their teaching practice through design abilities and pedagogical levers.
