CEEO Student Contributes Important Work on Navajo Engineering Experiences
Tufts University’s Department of Education recently recognized the ongoing research efforts of one of the CEEO’s newest members, Tyrine Jamella Pangan. Tyrine’s work relates directly to the mission of the center’s work generally, and specifically to our involvement with Tech and Play — keeping our focus on collaborating with schools, teachers, and students to develop projects and resources that are culturally responsive and produce an authentic student learning experience. We invite you to read her paper, Learning from the experiences of Navajo engineers: Looking toward the development of a culturally responsive engineering curriculum.
From the CEEO’s Weekly Newsletter:
Tyrine Jamella Pangan graduated from Arizona State University (Polytechnic Campus) with a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering. During her undergraduate career, she worked as a research assistant for Dr. Shawn Jordan in the STEAM LabsTM Center for K-12 Research and Engagement, helping develop culturally-responsive engineering curriculum modules for middle schools in the Navajo Nation. She will begin pursuing her PhD in STEM Education this fall and will be working as a graduate research assistant for Dr. Kristen Wendell.
