Event Details:

We've all heard a lot lately about Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. But, what about your-very human–intelligence? Will AI replace you? Forget about using chatGPT to write an essay for you. What if it could augment your intelligence? Using AI is one way to go about this. Especially when it's paired with reflection. Give yourself an edge in a world full of complex problems. In this experiential keynote we'll dive into practical ways to flex your reflection muscles, using AI as an ally, to make the most of your Summer.

Leticia Britos Cavagnaro, Ph.D., is a scientist-turned designer with a knack for creating transformative learning adventures. She holds a Ph.D. in Developmental Biology from Stanford's School of Medicine and is a former member of the Research in Education & Design Lab (REDlab) from Stanford’s School of Education. She is the co-founder and co-Director of the University Innovation Fellows, a program of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) that empowers students to be co-designers of their education in collaboration with faculty and leaders at their schools. Leticia was the founding Deputy Director of the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), an NSF-funded initiative that operated from 2011 to 2016 to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education across the United States. Leticia works with educators from hundreds of schools and across disciplines in transforming their teaching practices by applying design abilities and pedagogical levers through the Teaching and Learning Studio program of the d.school. In addition, she works with corporate, non-profit and education leaders in the US and abroad in exploring how design can embolden leadership and drive innovation. Leticia teaches Advanced Reflective Practice and Capstone Project to graduate students from Stanford’s Design Impact MS program and uses emerging technologies to empower learners to be self-directed, action-oriented, and reflective. She was born in Uruguay and lives in San Francisco with her husband.).
