Dr. Sabba Quidwai

Educator, social scientist, and entrepreneur Dr. Sabba Quidwai believes that cultures of innovation begin with a culture of empathy. Her career began as a high school teacher and evolved to leading innovation at USC and later being recruited as an education executive at Apple. These experiences deepened her insights as a social scientist, focusing on designing learning experiences that equip everyone with the skills and mindsets to be irreplaceable in a world with AI. She shares this research in her 2020 documentary, examining why and how design thinking is the human advantage in an AI world. Sabba also hosts a daily podcast, “Designing Schools,” where you can listen in for weekly stories about navigating change.
