About
Amy Hutchison is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of STEM education, inclusive learning, and assistive technology. Her scholarship focuses on expanding educational opportunities for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through innovative, technology-driven programming. Hutchison has made notable contributions to the field by investigating how robotics and coding can serve as powerful vehicles for STEM inclusion, particularly in informal, after-school learning environments where students with ASD may experience fewer social pressures and greater opportunities for engagement. Her 2024 feasibility study on an after-school robotics and coding enrichment program for students with ASD has already garnered 4 citations, signaling growing interest in this underexplored area. Her subsequent 2025 work further examines robotics as a practical tool for broadening STEM participation among neurodiverse learners. Together, these studies represent a meaningful push toward equity in STEM education, challenging researchers and practitioners to reconsider how informal learning spaces can be designed to better serve students who are too often overlooked. Hutchison's research offers an encouraging foundation for future large-scale studies on inclusive STEM programming.
