About
Carol Considine is a leading figure in engineering education and informal STEM learning, with a particular focus on broadening participation among underrepresented groups. Her research centers on designing and implementing hands-on engineering activities in non-traditional settings, such as community organizations and youth groups, to make technical concepts accessible and engaging. A hallmark of her work is the partnership with the Girl Scouts, where she has developed and deployed portable, low-cost robotics platforms that enable authentic engineering experiences outside the classroom. Her 2020 paper, *Learning in Informal Environments through Engineering Activities through the Partnership with the Girl Scouts*, highlights how affordable robotics can overcome barriers to access, allowing young learners to interact with technology in meaningful ways. While her citation count reflects the emerging nature of this applied field, Considine’s contributions are measured by their real-world impact—her programs have directly influenced hundreds of K-12 students and educators, and she has been recognized for her leadership in integrating engineering design into youth development. Her work exemplifies how outreach can transform perceptions of engineering, making it a relatable and achievable path for all.
