Adam V. Maltese studies how people learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with particular attention to hands-on 'maker' and engineering education both in schools and in informal settings such as museums and family homes. A recurring focus is on how failure, errors, and frustration function in learning, and how educators can reframe and support these experiences. His work also examines family and caregiver engagement in STEM and the pedagogical practices of educators.
