About
Joan Massich is a researcher dedicated to broadening participation in STEM through hands-on, team-based educational interventions. His primary research area lies at the intersection of engineering education and outreach, focusing on developing innovative pedagogical models that make science and technology accessible and engaging for young students. His most notable contribution is the design and implementation of the "R2B2" (ROV to Build and to Drive) workshop, a team-based project where secondary school students build and operate a remotely operated vehicle. This work, reported in his most-cited paper (4 citations), summarizes six years of experience deploying this activity, including special editions in India. The impact of Massich’s work is not measured in traditional citation counts but in its tangible influence on educational practice and student engagement. By creating a scalable, low-cost, and highly motivating activity, he has provided a proven framework for educators worldwide to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists, demonstrating that meaningful contributions to STEM can be built one workshop at a time.
