About

Jeff Rosen is a researcher dedicated to broadening participation in STEM education, with a particular focus on youth robotics programs. His work centers on understanding and addressing the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups from engaging in hands-on, team-based engineering challenges. Rosen’s most cited paper, “Diversifying Participation in First Lego League” (2020), examines the systemic and social factors that limit diversity in the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) competition—a globally recognized platform for introducing middle school students to science and technology. By analyzing recruitment strategies, team dynamics, and community outreach, Rosen provides actionable insights for educators and program coordinators seeking to create more inclusive learning environments. Though his citation count is modest, his contribution is significant in a field where equity and access are increasingly critical. Rosen’s work serves as a foundational resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to ensure that robotics education reflects the diverse society it aims to serve. His focus on early intervention and systemic change highlights a commitment to shaping a more equitable future in STEM.
