About
Junwu Wang is a researcher dedicated to advancing early STEM education through tangible, play-based learning technologies. His primary research areas include child-robot interaction, tangible user interfaces, and educational making toolkits, with a particular focus on underwater robotics. Wang’s major contribution lies in designing accessible, modular systems that allow children to build and experiment with underwater robots, bridging the gap between complex engineering and playful learning. His most cited work, "A study of children’s learning and play using an underwater robot construction kit" (2022, 8 citations), demonstrates how hands-on making fosters engagement and conceptual understanding in young learners. This builds on his earlier development of ModBot (2020, 7 citations), a tangible and modular toolkit that empowers children to create functional underwater robots. By lowering the barrier to entry for marine technology, Wang’s work not only nurtures future engineers but also addresses the growing need for early exposure to underwater robotics. His innovative approach has been recognized for its potential to inspire curiosity and technical skills in children, making him a notable figure in the field of educational technology and child-centered design.
