For Faculty and Partners

The Robotics Initiative creates opportunities to connect Purdue Computer Science with   K–12 classrooms through meaningful, scalable outreach.

I work with faculty, schools, and external partners to translate robotics and computing concepts into engaging, classroom-connected experiences that support both education and broader impact goals.

Why Collaborate

Strong partnerships allow us to expand access to robotics education while ensuring that outreach is both meaningful and sustainable.

Through collaboration, we can:

  • connect research to real-world learning environments
  • support teachers with practical, classroom-ready resources
  • create hands-on experiences that engage and inspire students
  • build pathways into computer science and STEM fields

Ways to Get Involved

Collaborate on K–12 Outreach

I support partnerships for classroom visits, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences that introduce students to robotics and computing concepts.

Support Broader Impacts (NSF CAREER & Beyond)

I work with faculty to design outreach components that align with research while remaining realistic, scalable, and impactful in K–12 settings.

Co-Develop Educational Resources

I collaborate with educators and faculty to translate research ideas into accessible, classroom-ready materials.

Engage with Robotics Programming & Events

I help connect faculty and partners with robotics teams, outreach events, and student-facing initiatives.

My Approach

This work is grounded in:

  • Classroom relevance – resources that fit real teaching environments
  • Scalability – outreach that can grow over time
  • Collaboration – strong partnerships across Purdue and K–12 education
  • Accessibility – lowering barriers for schools and teachers new to robotics

Connecting Research to Impact

I work to translate robotics and computing research into meaningful educational experiences.

Whether through classroom engagement, educator support, or structured outreach, this initiative extends the impact of research beyond the university and into K–12 learning environments.

Start a Conversation

If you are interested in exploring collaboration, outreach opportunities, or broader impacts alignment, I would be glad to connect.
