As a learning scientist, I explore STEM learning across ages and contexts. I research how to make STEM learning more accessible through teacher training and developing classroom materials such as learning games. I am currently exploring the impact of professional development programs on early childhood teachers’ confidence in and knowledge about STEAM teaching and learning. In another project, I explore the impact of gender differences and technology biases on student perceptions of computational thinking. I am also a research fellow at the AIMS center for math & science (https://aimscenter.org/research-fellowships)
