Research: Welcome

I am currently working on developing out my personal research agenda of creating expansive playful frameworks of research and design to better co-design and co-research learning alongside youth stakeholders. Check back soon for more updates!

Along with my dissertation, I have also played key roles in a variety of other research projects involving the development of innovative technology and learning activities in science, history, and computer science (CS) education.

Below you can learn more about the research projects that I have been apart of. My CV details my specific roles in each of these projects.

Debugging Failure

Led by Dr. David DeLiema, this project is focused on designing computer science learning environments which foster a culture of productive failure around debugging code through practices around storytelling, play, art-based reflections, and instructor support.
