Place-based Learning, STEM Identity Work and Identity Play with Storytelling Technologies
2023
-
2026
As young people experience challenging climate events and become aware of their systemic nature, they may feel powerless to shape the future and uncertain about STEM-based solutions. To address these challenges, this project focuses on the potential of place-based learning, field science, and
Puffins: Exploring how narrative, data science, and artificial intelligence enhance the study of ecology in middle school
2023
-
2025
The study of puffins can provide a fascinating subject area for the integrated learning of data and ecosystems. Once hunted to local extinction, puffins have made a dramatic yet fragile comeback and been re-established to historic nesting islands in mid-coast Maine. This project combines a
Collaborative Research: Exploring Theory and Design Principles (ETD): Investigating the relationships among making, wearables, curiosity, computational thinking and STEM careers
2023
-
2025
This project will examine and iteratively improve the design of a youth-centered 30-hour summer school curriculum that will engage high school students in making e-textiles (i.e., wearable technologies). The research builds on an existing curriculum (STEAM-Maker) that, when piloted, showed a
Minoritized Youth Computer Science Learning, Belonging and Career Interest: Coding and Creating with Beats
2023
-
2025
Computer science knowledge and skills are essential in the digital world. Despite progress in the availability of computer science (CS) coursework in secondary school settings, a number of student groups remain substantially underrepresented in computing. This project aims to broaden youth
