About
Kevin C. Womack is a dedicated researcher and educator whose work centers on broadening participation in computing, particularly for underrepresented African American students. His primary research areas include computer science education, culturally responsive pedagogy, and the use of robotics as an engaging tool for introductory programming. Womack’s most notable contribution is his pioneering workshop, detailed in his highly cited paper "Introduction to Computer Science for Urban African American Students Using Sphero Robotics Workshop" (2017, 3 citations). This intervention, held at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and led by African American undergraduates, directly addresses systemic inequities in CS access. By leveraging Sphero robotics, Womack creates a hands-on, culturally affirming learning environment that demystifies coding and inspires career aspirations. His work is a vital model for inclusive STEM education, demonstrating how targeted, community-based interventions can effectively bridge the digital divide. Womack’s research not only contributes to academic discourse but also has tangible, transformative impact on the students he serves, making him a key voice in the movement to diversify the tech workforce.
