About
Dr. Jordan Scott’s research lies at the vital intersection of computer science education, equity, and culturally responsive pedagogy. Their most-cited work, "Introduction to Computer Science for Urban African American Students Using Sphero Robotics Workshop" (2017, 3 citations), exemplifies their core contribution: designing and evaluating hands-on, identity-affirming interventions to broaden participation in computing. By partnering with an HBCU and deploying African American undergraduate mentors, Scott created a replicable model that uses tangible robotics to demystify coding for high school students in underserved urban districts. This early study established a framework for how representation and relevant context can transform a technical workshop into a powerful tool for social mobility. While their citation count is still growing, Scott’s impact is most felt in the communities they serve and the pedagogical blueprints they provide for other educators. Their work challenges the field to move beyond access alone, arguing that who teaches and where learning happens are just as critical as what is taught. For students and researchers interested in equity-centered CS education, Jordan Scott’s research offers a compelling, actionable vision for building a more inclusive tech pipeline.
