About
Jennifer Nwogu is a rising scholar at the intersection of human-computer interaction, culturally-responsive computing, and social robotics. Her research reimagines how young learners, particularly girls from diverse backgrounds, engage with technology by positioning them as co-creators rather than passive users. In her highly cited 2023 work, “I Want to Be Unique From Other Robots,” she introduced a groundbreaking framework that integrates co-creation with robot agents into culturally-responsive computing education, challenging traditional approaches that treat robots merely as external artifacts. This study, with 15 citations, demonstrates her ability to bridge identity, language, and technology in ways that empower underrepresented groups. Her complementary work on “comic-boarding” explores how children use language in human-human versus human-agent dialogue, advancing the design of voice-based technologies that support diverse identities and linguistic styles. Though early in her career, Nwogu’s focus on equity, agency, and inclusive design positions her as a vital voice in computing education. Her contributions are already shaping how researchers and educators think about engaging girls in STEM through culturally affirming, participatory technology design.
