UCF education professor Megan Nickels is researching ways that robotics can be used to enhance math education for these children. Nickels, who is passionate about teaching and has a broad background in elementary education, became dissatisfied with the way other teachers thought about and taught mathematics. She realized that in order to make a change that went beyond her own classroom, she would have to go into higher education and change future educators’ beliefs about mathematics. During her doctorate program, she began volunteering in hospitals to teach math to terminally ill children.…
