About

Marie Boyette is a dedicated researcher and practitioner in STEM education, with a primary focus on K-12 robotics outreach and its influence on career pathways in engineering and technology. Her work centers on understanding how hands-on robotics activities can inspire students to pursue technical careers, particularly within the context of Florida’s workforce development. Boyette’s most cited paper, “Do K-12 Robotics Activities Lead to Engineering and Technology Career Choices?” (2015, 6 citations), provides foundational insights into the long-term impact of early robotics exposure, drawing from her extensive experience with FLATE, a Florida-based center for advanced technological education. She also contributed “Best Practices for Student Robotic Camps” (2020, 4 citations), offering practical guidelines for educators and camp organizers to maximize student engagement and learning outcomes. Since 2004, Boyette has been instrumental in FLATE’s outreach and recruitment initiatives, helping to shape the technical talent pipeline in the Tampa Bay region. Her work bridges educational theory and real-world application, making her a key figure in promoting STEM literacy and career readiness among young learners.
