About
Chris Bartley is a leading researcher in educational robotics and human-computer interaction, with a focus on broadening participation in STEM through creative, arts-integrated approaches. His most cited work, "Arts & Bots: Application and outcomes of a secondary school robotics program" (2015, 22 citations), introduces a pioneering intervention that merges craft materials, robotics components, and a custom programming environment to engage secondary school students—particularly those traditionally underserved by conventional robotics programs. Bartley’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how combining artistic expression with technical design can lower barriers to entry, foster inclusive learning, and spark sustained interest in computing and engineering. Beyond this flagship study, his research has shaped teacher professional development and curriculum design, emphasizing equity and creativity in technology education. With a growing citation footprint and influence in both academic and practitioner communities, Bartley’s work continues to inspire educators and researchers to reimagine robotics as a medium for diverse, student-centered learning.
