About

Dr. Seoyeon Lee is an emerging leader in computing education, with a research focus on broadening participation in computer science through innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. Her most cited work, "A Middle-School Code Camp Emphasizing Digital Humanities" (14 citations), pioneers the integration of computational thinking with humanities disciplines to engage young learners. This paper demonstrates her core contribution: designing accessible, project-based learning environments that make coding relevant and exciting for middle-school students, particularly those from underrepresented groups. By blending digital humanities—such as text analysis, interactive storytelling, and cultural data visualization—with hands-on coding camps, Lee has created a replicable model that addresses the national call for early CS education. Her work shows how computing can be taught not as an isolated technical skill, but as a creative tool for exploring humanistic questions. While her citation count is still growing, the impact of her camp framework is evident in its adoption by educators seeking to diversify CS pipelines. Lee’s research is vital for anyone interested in K-12 CS pedagogy, equity in STEM, or the intersection of technology and the humanities.
