Breanne K. Litts is an Assistant Professor in Instructional Technologies and Learning Sciences and director of Learn Explore Design Lab at Utah State University. She investigates how people learn through making, designing, and producing at the intersection of physical and digital worlds. She conducts this work in collaboration with Indigenous communities, formal and out-of-school educators, and other community organizations. Together they examine how young people construct their identities through place and story, how to use technology to bring people together in cross-cultural contexts, and how people collaborate across disciplines, communities, and cultures. She recently received an NSF Faculty Early Development (CAREER) award (#1943630) to support this work. Dr. Litts’ work appears in journals such as Teachers College Record, Harvard Educational Review, and Interactive Learning Environments.
