About

Xuanxuan Zou is an emerging researcher in educational technology, with a focus on computational thinking (CT) training and human-machine interaction. Her most cited work introduces a novel blended board game system integrated with a robotic arm, designed to foster CT skills through competitive play between students and machines. Developed using Unity-3D, this system bridges physical and virtual learning environments, offering an engaging, hands-on approach to teaching programming logic and problem-solving. Although her research is early-stage—her top paper has garnered 5 citations—it represents a creative intersection of game-based learning, robotics, and pedagogy. This work has been applied in elementary school information technology courses, demonstrating practical relevance in K-12 education. Zou’s contributions highlight the potential of interactive, competition-driven tools to make abstract CT concepts tangible for young learners. As she continues to develop and refine these systems, her research promises to influence how computational thinking is taught in classrooms, blending entertainment with education to prepare students for a technology-driven world.
