Research summary
AI-generated

Avneet Hira's research focuses on engineering education, particularly how young people (K-12 and college students) learn engineering concepts through hands-on activities like coding, physical computing (building projects that combine hardware and software, such as smart greenhouses), and e-textiles. The work also examines issues of belonging, equity, and access for underrepresented students in both in-school and informal/out-of-school STEM settings like camps and maker spaces.
