Mentoring & advising

I advise master's and doctoral students working in the learning sciences, computer science education, design, and educational technology. Lab alumni now lead research groups, run education companies, and advise governments.

If you work on constructionism, maker education, tangible computing, or learning analytics, read about the lab first and then write to me.
