About
Michael Cregan is an educational researcher and practitioner whose work focuses on the critical challenge of engaging pre-GCSE students with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. His primary research area lies in developing and evaluating hands-on, interactive interventions—particularly robotics-based events—to inspire young learners and encourage them to consider careers in STEM. Cregan’s most notable contribution is the design and analysis of a dedicated “Robotics Day” event, detailed in his 2019 paper, which has garnered 2 citations. This work provides a practical, evidence-based framework for educators and outreach coordinators seeking to bridge the gap between abstract STEM concepts and tangible, exciting experiences for students aged 11–14. By focusing on the critical pre-GCSE stage, Cregan addresses a pivotal moment when students often form lasting attitudes toward technical subjects. His research offers valuable insights into the pedagogical and logistical elements that make such events effective, contributing to the broader conversation on STEM pipeline development and early career aspiration.
