About
Olatokunbo S. Fashola is a leading scholar in educational technology and STEM education, whose work explores how innovative, hands-on learning environments can foster critical skills in children. Her research centers on the integration of robotics, game design, and computational thinking to enhance students’ self-efficacy, problem-solving abilities, and attitudes toward STEM fields. In her highly influential 2016 study, “Using Robotics and Game Design to Enhance Children’s Self-Efficacy, STEM Attitudes, and Computational Thinking Skills,” which has garnered over 260 citations, Fashola demonstrated that engaging children in building and programming robots, as well as designing their own digital games, significantly boosts their confidence and interest in science and technology. This work has become a cornerstone for educators and researchers seeking evidence-based strategies to bridge gender and diversity gaps in STEM. Beyond this landmark paper, Fashola’s contributions extend to curriculum development and teacher training, emphasizing culturally responsive pedagogy and equity in access to technology. Her research continues to shape how we design learning experiences that prepare young learners for a digital future, making her a vital voice in the movement to make STEM education inclusive and empowering for all.
