About
Dayae Yang is a leading researcher at the intersection of computer science education, educational robotics, and elementary mathematics instruction. Her work focuses on bridging the digital divide by equipping teachers in under-resourced, rural schools with the tools to integrate computational thinking into core curricula. In her highly cited 2022 study, Yang demonstrated how a year-long professional development program enabled 12 K-5 teachers to effectively use educational robotics to teach computer science within regular math lessons. This research provides a scalable model for embedding CS education in settings with limited resources, directly addressing equity in STEM access. With 6 citations on this pivotal paper, Yang’s contributions are shaping how teacher training programs are designed to foster student engagement and computational literacy from an early age. Her work has been recognized for its practical impact, offering a blueprint for integrating robotics into elementary classrooms without displacing foundational subjects. Yang continues to advocate for inclusive, hands-on CS education, making her a vital voice in the movement to democratize technology learning for all students.
