About

Michele Garabedian Stork is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational technology, robotics, and STEM pedagogy. Her work focuses on equipping learners with twenty-first-century competencies—critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication—through innovative, hands-on approaches. Stork’s most influential contribution is her 2020 study on using robots and digital storytelling to foster these skills, which has garnered 68 citations and become a cornerstone for integrating robotics into K-12 curricula. She also explores virtual and cyber-physical STEM labs, bridging the gap between physical experimentation and digital simulation to make science accessible. Her research demonstrates how tangible, narrative-driven activities can engage students in complex problem-solving, preparing them for a technology-driven world. Stork’s impact lies in her ability to translate theoretical frameworks into practical, scalable classroom tools, influencing educators and curriculum designers globally. By championing robotics as a vehicle for storytelling and collaboration, she has redefined how we think about technology’s role in education, making her a vital voice in the movement toward future-ready learning environments.
