About
Sharon Friesen’s research lies at the intersection of STEM education, mentorship, and gender equity, with a focus on dismantling barriers that discourage girls from pursuing careers in science and technology. Her most cited work, “Inspiring Girls to Pursue Careers in STEM with a Mentor-Supported Robotics Project” (2020, 5 citations), exemplifies her hands-on, community-engaged approach—demonstrating how structured mentorship and project-based robotics can spark lasting interest in young women. Though her citation count is modest, the impact of her contributions is deeply practical: she has designed and implemented programs that directly address the pipeline problem in STEM fields, providing evidence-based strategies for educators and policymakers. Friesen’s work is notable for its emphasis on real-world application, bridging research and classroom practice to create inclusive learning environments. Her achievements extend beyond publications to include curriculum development and outreach initiatives that have influenced how robotics and engineering are taught to underrepresented groups. For students and researchers interested in equity in STEM education, Friesen offers a compelling model of how targeted interventions can shift career trajectories and broaden participation in technical fields.
