Thanks for stopping by! 🙋♀️
I’m a multi-media designer, curious educational technology researcher, and enthusiastic educator.
My research examines how culturally responsive and creative practices can broaden participation in computer science education. I focus on integrating computational thinking into informal learning spaces and K–12 classrooms through hands-on, art-centered approaches that promote student engagement, representation, and equity.
I work to build, examine, and study creative, engaging & critical educational experiences!
Always in the mood for collaboration, please reach out if there might be a fit! zhouxi66@msu.edu
