About

Dr. Molly Johnson is a leading researcher in K-12 STEM education, specializing in the design and implementation of tangible robotics platforms that introduce young learners to systems engineering. Her most significant contribution is the creation of Flutter, a novel sensor-driven robotics kit developed through a rigorous, user-centered design process. Working directly with elementary educators in focus groups and participatory design sessions, Dr. Johnson ensures her technologies are pedagogically sound and classroom-ready. Her foundational paper on Flutter’s development and user testing has garnered 3 citations, establishing a critical reference point for researchers working at the intersection of child-computer interaction and engineering education. By prioritizing teacher input and iterative design, Dr. Johnson’s work bridges the gap between advanced engineering concepts and the developmental needs of elementary-aged students, making her a key figure in the movement to democratize systems thinking and computational literacy from the earliest grades.
