She has taught engineering to children in informal settings, and is a partner with Harford County Public Schools (Maryland) on a district-wide project to implement elementary engineering instruction using EiE units of instruction. Her research includes examining the ways in which children and adults critically analyze technologies, and investigations of factors that support and those that hinder elementary teachers as they learn to teach engineering.
