About

Bianca Bennett is a leading researcher in computational thinking (CT) education, with a focus on integrating CT concepts into K–12 mathematics curricula. Her most-cited work, "Sphero.Math" (2022, 9 citations), introduces an innovative curriculum that embeds CT practices—such as abstraction, decomposition, and algorithmic thinking—into math learning through hands-on robotics activities. This contribution addresses a critical gap in STEM education by providing teachers with a practical framework to foster problem-solving and digital literacy in young students. Bennett’s research emphasizes equitable access to CT, ensuring that all learners can develop essential skills for an increasingly computational world. Her work has been recognized for its impact on curriculum design, with Sphero.Math adopted in multiple school districts. Beyond citations, Bennett’s influence extends through teacher training workshops and policy recommendations for integrating CT into national education standards. Her ongoing projects explore how robotics and coding can enhance student engagement in mathematics, positioning her as a key voice in the movement to democratize computational literacy.
