About

Pei-Yi Lin is a leading researcher in STEM education, specializing in the design and implementation of underwater robotics programs to enhance precollege student learning. Her work centers on integrating engineering, science, mathematics, and information technology through hands-on, project-based curricula, with a particular emphasis on using LEGO Mindstorms kits and the NXT programmable brick to build underwater robots. Lin’s major contributions include the development of the Build IT project, a university-school collaboration that has demonstrated significant improvements in students’ understanding of complex STEM concepts and 21st-century skills. Her most cited paper, “Analysis Of Middle And High School Students’ Learning Of Science, Mathematics, And Engineering Concepts Through A Lego Underwater Robotics Design Challenge” (2020, 16 citations), provides empirical evidence of the program’s effectiveness. Additional influential works, such as “Robots Underwater! Learning Science, Engineering and 21st Century Skills” (2012, 11 citations) and “Build It: Building Middle And High School Students' Understanding Of Engineering, Science And IT Through Underwater Robotics” (2020, 10 citations), further establish her as a pioneer in making STEM education accessible and engaging through innovative, real-world challenges. Her research continues to inspire educators and researchers to leverage robotics for transformative learning experiences.
