About

Galen Turner is a dedicated educator and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of STEM education, cyber literacy, and K–12 curriculum development. His primary research areas include cyber science education, integrated STEM pedagogy, and the use of hands-on technology to teach foundational physics and engineering concepts. Turner’s most significant contributions center on creating vertically integrated learning experiences that bridge middle school, high school, and early undergraduate studies. He is the driving force behind the “Junior Cyber Discovery” cyber camp, which introduces middle school students to cybersecurity concepts through an engaging, multi-year curriculum (8 citations). His work on the NASA-Threads curriculum, including technology-enabled projects for high school physics (6 citations) and the application of Boe-Bot robotics to teach electricity fundamentals (5 citations), demonstrates his commitment to making complex STEM topics accessible through project-based learning. Turner also developed the interdisciplinary “Cyber Science” course, which brings together math, science, engineering, computer science, and liberal arts to foster better cyber-citizenship (2 citations). Through these efforts, Turner has had a tangible impact on how cyber and STEM education is delivered, preparing the next generation of problem-solvers for a technology-driven world.
