About
Erin Price Tiger is a leading researcher in STEM education, with a primary focus on collaborative robotics and engineering design for elementary and middle school children. Her most influential work, "Group Tasks, Activities, Dynamics, and Interactions in Collaborative Robotics Projects with Elementary and Middle School Children" (71 citations), fundamentally examines how robotics projects enable students to merge individual interests and expertise while tackling real-world STEM challenges. This paper has become a cornerstone for understanding collaborative learning in technology-rich environments. Tiger further advanced the field with her model of how children construct knowledge and understanding of engineering design within robotics-focused contexts (6 citations), offering a qualitative framework that reveals how young learners approach engineering problems during summer robotics camps. Her research demonstrates that robotics serve as powerful catalysts for authentic, hands-on STEM learning, where students develop critical collaboration and problem-solving skills. Tiger’s work has shaped curriculum design and pedagogical approaches in K-12 robotics education, making her a key voice in preparing the next generation of engineers and innovators.
