About
Koeun Choi is an innovative researcher at the intersection of educational technology, human-robot interaction, and informal learning, with a particular focus on how social robots and artificial intelligence can transform K-12 education. Choi's most significant contribution is the development and systematic study of child-robot musical theater programs — a creative pedagogical framework that engages elementary school children with STEAM concepts through collaborative storytelling and performance with social robots. This work, documented across multiple publications since 2022, has garnered over 37 citations collectively, reflecting growing scholarly interest in the approach. Beyond STEAM promotion, Choi has pioneered efforts to embed AI and robot ethics education into accessible, informal learning environments, addressing the critical need to prepare young learners for ethical coexistence with emerging technologies. Notable achievements include using robot theater as a vehicle for climate change awareness and examining how interactions with social robots shape children's understanding of machine mental capacities. Choi's research is distinguished by its interdisciplinary scope — blending robotics, arts education, ethics, and child development — offering educators and policymakers practical, evidence-based frameworks for integrating transformative technologies into young children's learning experiences.
