AMANDA SULLIVAN

I am a researcher, educator, and author focused on the impact of new technologies, media, and STEM engagement on young children. My research explores strategies for breaking gender stereotypes and engaging girls in STEM from an early age. I am the co-creator of the ScratchJr Coding Cards: Creative Coding Activities and author of the book Breaking the STEM Stereotype: Reaching Girls in Early Childhood . My newest book, Playful STEAM Learning in the Early Years: An Educator's Guide to Screen-Free Explorations, is available for pre-order now.  My work has been featured in GeekWire, WIRED magazine, the New York Times, and more.

​

I am currently a Senior Researcher at the National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP), a nonprofit organization focused on advancing the agenda of gender equity in STEM. I also regularly work in a consulting capacity with groups like PBS Kids, the DevTech Research Group, the Childcare Education Institute, and local schools on STEM and edtech-related endeavors! This has involved research, professional development, writing, course development, teaching, and more.
