Stanford, Ca

Designed and conducted seven studies of growth-mindset and goal-planning interventions to improve learning outcomes in massive open online courses (n = ~21,000)

Assisted Professors Roy Pea and Mitchell Stevens on "Education's Digital Future", a novel year-long course sequence and event series that catalyzed critical discussion about learning and technology. Collected data on students' knowledge and interests in order to design learning activities.

- Developed and ran curricula, assessments, and research protocols for a month-long technology design program for 12 local high-school students.- Created an original assessment of everyday technology understanding; conducted reliability and validity testing with 30 high-schoolers in the US and Russia; paper accepted to 2012 AERA round-table discussion on computational literacy- Conducted research on high-school inquiry learning in biology, chemistry, and physics using physical and virtual modeling tools; tested a “bifocal modeling” physics curriculum with 20 local high-schoolers; paper accepted to ICLS 2012- Worked alongside faculty and peers to develop and lead multi-day digital fabrication workshops in Russia and the US- Trained 14 teachers in digital fabrication at the Castilleja Girl’s School in Palo Alto- Co-led an agent-based modeling workshop for ~50 researchers attending the 2011 Cognitive Science conference
