About

Kerry Rice is a leading researcher in educational technology and STEM education, with a particular focus on robotics-based interventions to enhance student learning and career interest. Her most-cited work, "Using a Multifaceted Robotics-Based Intervention to Increase Student Interest in STEM Subjects and Careers" (2020, 27 citations), demonstrates her commitment to bridging the gap between theoretical pedagogy and practical application. Rice’s research centers on how hands-on, technology-driven curricula can ignite curiosity and persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, especially among underrepresented groups. By integrating robotics into classroom settings, she has shown measurable gains in student engagement and self-efficacy, contributing to a growing body of evidence that experiential learning fosters long-term academic and professional pathways. Her work is widely recognized for its actionable insights, influencing both K-12 teaching practices and higher education program design. Beyond her citation impact, Rice is known for collaborative projects that bring together educators, engineers, and community stakeholders, making her a pivotal figure in the movement to democratize STEM access. For students and researchers exploring the intersection of technology and education, Rice’s studies offer a clear, evidence-based roadmap for inspiring the next generation of innovators.
