About
Yicong Zhang is a rising scholar in educational technology, whose work focuses on integrating robotics and STEM education to foster computational thinking and self-efficacy, particularly among underserved student populations. In a landmark 2023 study, Zhang examined the effects of robotics STEM camps on rural elementary students, demonstrating that hands-on, project-based learning significantly boosts both their confidence and problem-solving skills. This research, which has already garnered 39 citations, underscores Zhang’s commitment to bridging educational gaps and making STEM accessible to all. By designing and evaluating interventions that blend robotics with core computational concepts, Zhang provides empirical evidence for scalable, engaging learning models. Their contributions are especially notable for addressing the critical need for early exposure to technology in rural settings, where resources are often limited. Through rigorous analysis and a focus on real-world impact, Yicong Zhang is shaping how educators and policymakers approach STEM education, inspiring a new generation of learners to embrace computational thinking as a foundational skill.
