About
Rebecca L. Dohrman is a scholar whose work lies at the intersection of STEM education, curriculum design, and human development. Her primary research focuses on integrating robotics and storytelling into mathematics and science instruction to make abstract concepts tangible and engaging for young learners. She is best known for her leadership in the CREST-M project (Children Using Robotics for Engineering, Science, Technology, and Math), which developed and evaluated an innovative math curriculum that weaves narrative with hands-on robotics activities. This work, published in 2018 and cited 22 times, has been recognized for its potential to reshape elementary STEM education by fostering both computational thinking and mathematical reasoning. Dohrman’s contributions are notable for bridging educational theory with practical classroom application, offering a replicable model for interdisciplinary learning. Her research underscores the importance of early exposure to engineering and technology, and her curriculum has been adopted in multiple school districts. Through her scholarship, Dohrman continues to influence how educators approach STEM literacy, making her a key figure in the movement toward more inclusive and engaging math education.
