About
Dr. Nancy Newsome has spent over two decades bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and K-12 classrooms, primarily through her work at Georgia Tech’s Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC). Since joining CEISMC in 1996, she has become a leading voice in university-K-12 educational partnerships, focusing on how to authentically integrate emerging technologies into core science curricula. Her most cited work, “Robotics in the Core Science Classroom” (2015, 7 citations), directly tackles the practical challenges and pedagogical benefits of using robotics not as a standalone elective, but as a tool for teaching fundamental scientific principles. This paper is a cornerstone for educators seeking to implement hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Beyond this publication, Dr. Newsome’s primary impact lies in her leadership and program development; she currently directs major partnership initiatives that translate complex STEM research into accessible, engaging learning experiences for students and professional development for teachers. Her career is a testament to the power of sustained, collaborative work that makes science tangible for the next generation.
