Xintian Tu studies how young children learn science through play and movement, often using mixed-reality technology (environments that blend physical objects with digital displays) in elementary and preschool classrooms. Their work explores how hands-on, body-based ('embodied') activities help children build scientific models and understanding, and how teachers support this learning. They also examine intelligent tutoring agents and teacher perspectives on new teaching approaches.
