About
Dr. Hannah Evans is a pioneering researcher in early childhood STEM education, with a focused expertise in integrating computational thinking and mathematics learning for young learners. Her most influential work, "Coding to Develop Early Mathematical and Computational Thinking in Kindergarten: A Case Study" (2019, 2 citations), explores how coding robot tasks can simultaneously foster foundational math skills and computational thinking in kindergarten classrooms. This emerging research demonstrates that hands-on, robot-based activities not only make abstract mathematical concepts tangible but also build critical problem-solving abilities in early learners. Dr. Evans’s contributions are particularly significant for educators seeking evidence-based strategies to introduce STEM concepts at the earliest stages of schooling. While her citation count is modest, reflecting the nascent nature of this field, her work is gaining traction among researchers and practitioners committed to reimagining elementary curricula. By bridging the gap between play and structured learning, Dr. Evans is helping shape a new generation of learners equipped with both mathematical fluency and the computational mindset essential for the 21st century. Her research stands as a foundational step toward scalable, engaging STEM integration in early education.
