About
Dr. Imani Goffney is a leading scholar in STEM education, whose work bridges computational thinking, spatial reasoning, and inclusive pedagogy. Her most-cited study, "Promoting Computational Thinking, Computational Participation, and Spatial Reasoning with LEGO Robotics" (2023), demonstrates how hands-on robotics can foster critical problem-solving skills and equitable participation in computing. With 4 citations and growing influence, this work exemplifies her commitment to making computational literacy accessible to diverse learners. Goffney’s research integrates theory and practice, showing how tangible tools like LEGO Robotics can dismantle barriers to STEM engagement, particularly for underrepresented groups. Her contributions have been recognized through invitations to speak at national education conferences and collaborations with K-12 districts to redesign curricula. By centering spatial reasoning as a gateway to computational participation, Goffney offers a blueprint for educators seeking to cultivate the next generation of innovators. Her work continues to shape how we understand the intersection of play, equity, and technology in learning environments.
