About
Dr. Yanting Liu is a leading researcher in computational thinking (CT) education and human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing innovative tools to foster cognitive skills in young learners. Her seminal work, "Evaluation of the ROOT Robot System and Curriculum to Improve Computational Thinking in Chinese Children" (2019, 7 citations), pioneered the integration of programmable robotics into early childhood curricula, demonstrating how tangible, interactive platforms can bridge the gap between abstract CT concepts and practical problem-solving. By systematically evaluating the ROOT system, Dr. Liu provided empirical evidence that structured robot-based activities significantly enhance children’s ability to formulate and express solutions—a foundational skill in the digital age. This contribution addresses a critical gap in CT education, where traditional methods often fail to engage young minds. Her research not only advances pedagogical strategies but also informs the design of accessible, culturally adaptive learning technologies. Dr. Liu’s work continues to inspire educators and technologists, positioning her as a key voice in the global movement to equip the next generation with essential computational competencies.
