About
Dr. Jieqiong Xu is a pioneering researcher in STEM education innovation, with a particular focus on experiential learning and robotics-based pedagogy for Chinese students. Her most influential work, "STEM 3.0 for Chinese Students with Sea Perch Underwater Robots," introduces a transformative summer camp model that integrates hands-on underwater robotics to cultivate critical thinking and practical problem-solving skills. This study, cited 6 times, addresses two critical challenges in China’s rapidly evolving STEM landscape: the shortage of immersive, student-centered curricula and the need for scalable, low-cost educational tools. By adapting the Sea Perch underwater robot program—originally developed by MIT and the U.S. Navy—for Shanghai’s young learners, Dr. Xu demonstrates how project-based learning can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. Her work highlights the importance of "learning by doing" in fostering creativity and technical literacy, offering a replicable framework for educators worldwide. Dr. Xu’s contributions are particularly timely as China accelerates its push for STEM 3.0—a paradigm emphasizing interdisciplinary, inquiry-driven education. Her research not only advances pedagogical theory but also provides actionable insights for policymakers and teachers seeking to prepare students for a technology-driven future.
