About

Janet Bih is a leading researcher in computational thinking (CT) education, with a focus on integrating CT concepts into K–12 mathematics curricula. Her most-cited work, "Sphero.Math" (2022, 9 citations), introduces an innovative curriculum that embeds CT skills—such as abstraction, algorithms, and debugging—directly into math learning through hands-on robotics activities. This contribution is notable for bridging the gap between abstract computational principles and tangible, engaging classroom practice, offering a replicable model for educators. Bih’s research addresses the urgent need to prepare students for a computational world, emphasizing equity and accessibility in CT education. Her work has been recognized for its practical impact, providing a framework that empowers teachers to foster problem-solving and logical reasoning without requiring advanced programming expertise. By demonstrating how robotics can demystify CT, Bih is shaping how foundational skills are taught, making her a pivotal voice in the movement to integrate computational thinking across disciplines. Her ongoing efforts continue to influence curriculum design and teacher training, positioning her as a key contributor to the future of STEM education.
