About

Shuchi Grover is a leading researcher in computing education, whose work focuses on making computer science accessible and engaging for all learners. Her key research areas include computational thinking, block-based programming, and inclusive pedagogy. Grover’s major contributions challenge the traditional walls of visual educational programming environments, advocating for expansive services that allow novices to explore advanced computing concepts through accessible abstractions. She has been instrumental in bridging the gap between introductory programming and real-world applications, such as integrating block-based coding with robotics and mixed reality. Her work on neurodiversity in computational thinking is particularly notable, highlighting the intersection of executive function differences and foundational CT practices to create more inclusive curricula. With papers like “Removing the Walls Around Visual Educational Programming Environments” (10 citations) and “Including Neurodiversity in Computational Thinking” (9 citations), Grover’s research is shaping how we teach computing to diverse populations. She has also focused on engaging female high school students in the frontiers of computing, helping to broaden participation in the field. Her innovative, equity-driven approach makes her a vital voice in modern CS education.
