About

Signe E. Kastberg’s research lies at the intersection of mathematics education, collaborative learning, and the innovative use of technology in classroom settings. Her work explores how hybrid making-spaces—environments blending physical and digital tools—can foster productive norms and deep collaboration among students. Kastberg is particularly known for examining how educational robots serve not merely as gadgets but as powerful catalysts for developing conceptual understanding, boosting student engagement, and elevating interest in mathematics. Her 2023 paper, “Norms and collaboration in hybrid making-spaces,” has already garnered early citations, signaling its growing influence in the field. Beyond this, Kastberg’s contributions extend to designing learning experiences that bridge theory and practice, helping educators reimagine how collaborative problem-solving can be structured in technology-rich classrooms. Her research is especially valuable for teachers and researchers seeking evidence-based strategies to make mathematics more accessible and motivating. With a career dedicated to understanding how students learn together in evolving educational landscapes, Kastberg continues to shape conversations around the role of making, robotics, and shared norms in modern STEM education.
