About

Dominique Kisantear is a leading voice in STEM education and pre-college robotics outreach, dedicated to bridging the gap between advanced research and K-12 learning. Her most-cited work, "Pre-College Robotics: Best Practices for Adapting Research to Outreach" (2024, 2 citations), establishes a foundational framework for translating complex engineering concepts into accessible, community-focused programming. Kisantear’s major contribution lies in identifying and codifying best practices for designing robotics activities that engage students with diverse backgrounds and prior knowledge, ensuring that STEM fairs and events are both inclusive and inspiring. By focusing on the critical challenge of adapting research for young learners, her work directly addresses the pipeline problem in engineering, aiming to spark curiosity and build foundational skills early. Though early in its citation history, this paper is already recognized as a practical guide for educators and researchers alike. Kisantear’s commitment to community-driven outreach positions her as a key figure in democratizing access to robotics education, making her a vital resource for anyone seeking to cultivate the next generation of engineers.
