About
Divya Vijayan is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, storytelling, and environmental education, with a focus on fostering STEM literacy among young learners in India. Her most-cited work, "When elephants nodded and dolls spoke: Bringing together robotics and storytelling for environmental literacy" (2022), introduces an innovative model that combines interactive robotics with narrative-based workshops to instill principles of environmental stewardship in children. By integrating computational thinking with culturally resonant storytelling, Vijayan demonstrates how technology can bridge the gap between abstract ecological concepts and tangible, hands-on learning. Her contributions have been recognized for their potential to address urgent sustainability challenges through early education, with her flagship paper accumulating 4 citations and inspiring further interdisciplinary research. Vijayan’s work stands out for its creative synthesis of engineering, pedagogy, and cultural context, offering a replicable framework for promoting environmental literacy in resource-constrained settings. Her achievements highlight the power of play and narrative in shaping the next generation of eco-conscious innovators.
