About
Dr. Tarcia Hubert is a leading voice in STEM education, renowned for her pioneering work at the intersection of computational thinking, robotics, and game-based learning. Her most influential research, the highly cited 2016 study "Using Robotics and Game Design to Enhance Children’s Self-Efficacy, STEM Attitudes, and Computational Thinking Skills" (263 citations), fundamentally reshaped how educators integrate technology into K-12 curricula. In this landmark work, Dr. Hubert demonstrated that hands-on engagement with robotics and game design not only boosts students' self-efficacy and positive attitudes toward STEM but also measurably strengthens their computational thinking abilities—a critical 21st-century skill. Her contributions have provided empirical evidence for the power of constructionist learning, inspiring a generation of teachers to move beyond passive instruction toward active, project-based digital creation. By bridging the gap between educational theory and classroom practice, Dr. Hubert has established herself as a key figure in developing scalable, engaging methods to prepare diverse learners for future careers in technology and engineering. Her work continues to inform curriculum design and policy, making her a vital resource for researchers and educators alike.
