About
Dr. Elif Adibelli Sahin is a leading scholar in STEM and computer science education, with a particular focus on equity and access for multilingual learners (MLs). Her research centers on integrating robotics and computational thinking into elementary curricula to foster inclusive, hands-on learning environments. In her highly cited 2023 study, "Multilingual Elementary School Students' Computer Science and STEM Learning through Robotics," she demonstrates how robotics can bridge language and content gaps for Hispanic and Latinx MLs—one of the fastest-growing student populations in U.S. public schools. This work highlights her major contribution: designing and evaluating pedagogical approaches that empower underrepresented students to engage meaningfully with computer science and STEM. By addressing systemic barriers, Dr. Adibelli Sahin’s research directly informs classroom practices and policy, ensuring that multilingual learners are not left behind in the nation’s technological workforce. Her scholarship has garnered attention from educators and researchers alike, underscoring its relevance to diversity and inclusion in STEM. Through her innovative work, she is shaping a more equitable future for K-12 computer science education.
