About

Arianna Chang is a leading voice in culturally responsive STEM education, with a focus on equity, inclusion, and Indigenous resurgence. Her most cited work, “Codesigning With Indigenous Families and Educators: Creating Robotics Education That Contributes to Indigenous Resurgence” (2020), exemplifies her commitment to decolonizing technology education by centering Indigenous knowledge systems and community partnership. In this landmark paper, Chang demonstrates how collaborative design with Indigenous families and educators can transform robotics curricula for elementary through high school students, fostering both technical skills and cultural sovereignty. Though early in its citation impact, the work has already shaped conversations around multicultural and inclusive engineering education. Chang’s broader contributions lie in bridging informal and formal learning environments, ensuring that historically marginalized students see themselves as creators—not just consumers—of technology. Her research challenges conventional STEM narratives by integrating Indigenous perspectives into robotics and engineering, offering a powerful model for educators and researchers seeking to build more just and equitable learning spaces. Through her scholarship, Chang is redefining what it means to teach technology with, rather than for, diverse communities.
