About

Sasha Wang is an education researcher specializing in STEM integration, computational thinking, and robotics-based learning at the elementary school level. Her work focuses on designing and evaluating innovative curricula that engage young learners in authentic STEM experiences, with a particular emphasis on how early exposure to robotics and integrated STEM projects shapes student attitudes, skills, and conceptual understanding. Wang's most influential contribution, "Elementary School Student Development of STEM Attitudes and Perceived Learning in a STEM Integrated Robotics Curriculum" (2019), has garnered 109 citations, underscoring its significance in the field of elementary STEM education. Her research extends into computational thinking development, notably through a National Science Foundation-funded project in which she applied the Understand/Use-Modify-Create (U²MC) framework to an eight-week afterschool robotics program for second graders — demonstrating how structured pedagogical strategies can make complex concepts accessible to very young students. Her 2020 study further explores how afterschool integrated STEM projects cultivate both disciplinary practices and conceptual knowledge in upper elementary students. Collectively, Wang's research provides educators and policymakers with evidence-based frameworks for broadening STEM engagement and building foundational computational literacy from the earliest years of schooling.
