About

Yuchun Zhong is a leading voice in early childhood education, specializing in the integration of emerging technologies—particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics—into curricula for children aged 3–8. Her work addresses a critical gap in educational research, focusing on how young learners can develop foundational AI literacy and technological competencies. Zhong’s most-cited paper, "Artificial Intelligence (AI) in early childhood education: Curriculum design and future directions" (2022, 227 citations), provides a forward-looking framework for preparing the next generation for an AI-driven world. She has also made significant contributions to equity in tech education, as seen in her systematic review on the influences of gender and socioeconomic status on children’s use of robotics (2022, 50 citations), highlighting disparities that must be addressed. Her comprehensive review of technology education in early childhood (2023, 38 citations) further synthesizes the field’s landscape. Through her rigorous, systematic analyses, Zhong is shaping how educators and policymakers design inclusive, developmentally appropriate technology curricula, ensuring that even the youngest learners are equipped with essential skills for the future.
