has abstract	Marina Umaschi Bers is the Augustus Long Professor of Education at Boston College. She is known for her work on computational thinking, technology, and tools for children to learn computer programming. Her research involves the design and study of innovative learning technologies to promote children’s positive development. Bers is founder and director of the DevTech Research Group, now located at Boston College. Bers and the DevTech Research Group focus on how robotics and programming languages, can promote new ways of thinking and learning alongside with socio-emotional development, to educate children to think critically, collaborate with others, and develop character strengths to make a better world. Their research involves four dimensions: theoretical contributions, design of new technologies, empirical research to test and evaluate the theory and the technologies, and outreach to disseminate their work. Bers and her team created programming languages such as KIBO and ScratchJr as well as teaching materials and pedagogical strategies for the professional development of early childhood educators and community engagement.
