About
Dr. Latanya Ingraham is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of computer science education, teacher professional development, and inclusive pedagogy. Her work centers on equipping educators with the tools and confidence to integrate computational thinking and engineering practices into K-12 classrooms, particularly through hands-on, engaging approaches like game design and robotics. Her most-cited paper, "Developing Teachers' Computational Thinking Beliefs and Engineering Practices through Game Design and Robotics" (2017), with 11 citations, exemplifies her commitment to bridging theory and practice. In this influential study, she demonstrated how immersive, project-based learning can shift teachers' beliefs about their own capacity to teach computing, thereby fostering more equitable and effective STEM education. Dr. Ingraham’s contributions are vital for preparing a diverse next generation of problem-solvers, and her work continues to shape professional development frameworks that make computational thinking accessible to all learners.
