About
James Fey is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, STEM education, and inclusive design. His work critically examines how robotics education kits shape youth engagement with computational concepts, particularly for broadening participation in computing. In his most cited work, "Now That's What I Call A Robot(ics Education Kit)!" (2024, 3 citations), Fey contrasts popular platforms like Lego Mindstorms, Sphero, and DASH with a custom-designed kit, using a pictorial format to highlight how design choices can either invite or exclude learners. This contribution reflects his broader commitment to making computational learning more accessible and culturally responsive. Fey’s research is notable for its focus on equity and critical reflection within the maker movement, challenging assumptions about what counts as a "robotics kit." Though early in his career, his work is already shaping conversations in design-oriented STEM education, offering a thoughtful counterpoint to mainstream approaches. For students and researchers interested in how design and pedagogy intersect, Fey’s scholarship provides a compelling, hands-on lens for reimagining who gets to build with technology.
