About

Annabella Koures is a dedicated educator and researcher whose work focuses on broadening access to computer science education, particularly for younger and historically underrepresented students. Her key research areas include K-12 computing pedagogy, digital humanities, and inclusive curriculum design. Koures is best known for her influential paper, "A Middle-School Code Camp Emphasizing Digital Humanities" (2019, 14 citations), which demonstrates how integrating humanities themes—such as storytelling and cultural analysis—into coding camps can make computer science more engaging and accessible for middle-school learners. This work has been cited as a model for interdisciplinary, project-based learning that bridges the gap between technical skills and creative expression. Beyond this publication, Koures has contributed to the development of scalable, low-barrier coding programs that prioritize equity and student agency. Her research has informed curriculum design for camps and workshops reaching hundreds of students, and she is recognized for championing digital humanities as a powerful entry point into computing. Koures’s work continues to inspire educators seeking to make computer science education more relevant, inclusive, and impactful for the next generation.
