About
Diana Urbano is a leading voice in inclusive STEAM education, dedicated to dismantling barriers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Her research centers on the powerful intersection of educational robotics, computational thinking, and gender equity, advocating for learning environments where diversity is not just welcomed but actively cultivated. Her most influential work, "Educational Robotics for All: Gender, Diversity, and Inclusion in STEAM" (2020), with 22 citations, establishes a foundational framework for using robotics as a tool to engage underrepresented groups. Urbano further advanced this mission by designing and launching the massive open online course (MOOC) "STEAM4ALL," detailed in her 2021 paper. This innovative course, built on the Open edX platform, directly translates her research into accessible, global practice, with early findings demonstrating its potential to reshape participation in STEAM. Through her scholarship and curriculum development, Urbano is not just studying inclusion—she is engineering it, providing educators with the practical tools to build a more equitable and creative future for all learners.
