Dr. Tysha Batts is an innovative educator and researcher whose work bridges the gap between K–12 pedagogy and emerging STEM technologies. With over 15 years of teaching experience in both secondary and collegiate settings, her primary research focuses on integrating hands-on robotics and drone activities to expose underrepresented students to STEM careers. Her most-cited paper, "Exposing Students to STEM Careers through Hands-on Activities with Drones and Robots" (2020, 12 citations), demonstrates her commitment to making STEM accessible and engaging. A key contribution is her work on curriculum committees for Newport News Public Schools, where she helped align Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOLs) with district pacing guides—ensuring that rigorous academic standards are met while incorporating innovative, real-world applications. Dr. Batts’ impact lies not only in her published work but in the tangible curricular changes she has championed, directly influencing how thousands of students experience science and technology. Her career exemplifies how classroom practice and research can converge to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists.
