About
Chengze Zeng is a researcher at the forefront of educational robotics and computational thinking development. His work centers on designing accessible, hands-on robotic platforms that bridge the gap between theoretical computer science and tangible engineering practice. His most notable contribution is the iArm, a 6-degree-of-freedom educational robotic arm kit, which he introduced in his highly cited 2022 paper. This work directly addresses the critical need for effective, low-cost tools to cultivate computational thinking in K-12 and early undergraduate students. By focusing on the design and pedagogical impact of the iArm, Zeng has provided a concrete, replicable model for integrating robotics into information technology curricula. His research demonstrates that such kits are not merely technical exercises but powerful vehicles for developing problem-solving, logic, and systems-thinking skills. With 17 citations, his work is gaining traction among educators and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to STEM education. Zeng’s contributions are laying the groundwork for a new generation of learners who can think computationally and build physically, making him a key voice in the future of interactive learning technologies.
