About
Huili Hong is an emerging scholar in educational technology and computational thinking, with a focused research agenda on integrating robotics into K-12 learning environments. Her most-cited work, "Developing a Robotics Program to Support Students’ Computational Thinking: a Design-based Study" (2023), exemplifies her commitment to bridging theory and practice through design-based research. In this study, Hong demonstrates how hands-on robotics activities can systematically foster computational thinking skills—such as problem decomposition, pattern recognition, and algorithmic reasoning—among young learners. By documenting iterative design cycles and classroom implementations, she provides educators with actionable frameworks for embedding robotics into curricula. Though early in her career, Hong’s work has already garnered 6 citations, signaling growing interest in her evidence-based approach to STEM education. Her contributions are particularly notable for their emphasis on equity and accessibility, ensuring that robotics programs are adaptable for diverse student populations. As computational thinking becomes a cornerstone of 21st-century education, Hong’s research offers vital insights for teachers, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to prepare students for a technology-driven world. Her ongoing work promises to shape how robotics can serve as a catalyst for deeper learning and innovation in classrooms.
