About
Jeff Davis is a dedicated researcher in STEM education, with a particular focus on broadening access and equity in youth robotics and engineering programs. His work centers on understanding and addressing the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups from participating in hands-on learning experiences like the FIRST LEGO League (FLL). In his highly regarded paper, "Diversifying Participation in First Lego League" (2020), Davis examines the structural and social factors that limit diversity in these competitive, team-based environments. Though early in its citation impact, this work has become a foundational reference for educators and program coordinators seeking to implement more inclusive recruitment and retention strategies. Davis’s research contributes vital insights into how informal learning spaces can be redesigned to foster belonging and success for all students, particularly those from historically marginalized communities. His ongoing efforts help shape best practices in K-12 STEM outreach, making him a valuable voice for practitioners and researchers alike who are committed to creating equitable pathways into science and technology fields.
