Paulo Blikstein is an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Education and (by courtesy) the Computer Science Department, where he directs the Transformative Learning Technologies Lab. Blikstein’s research focuses on how new technologies can deeply transform the learning of science, engineering, and mathematics. He creates and researches cutting-edge educational technologies, such as computer modeling, robotics, digital fabrication, and rapid prototyping, creating hands-on learning environments in which children learn science and mathematics by building sophisticated projects and devices. He also focuses on the application of data-mining and machine learning for the assessment of hands-on, project-based learning. Blikstein has recently spearheaded the FabLab@School project, building advanced digital fabrication labs in middle and high-schools in the US, Russia, and Thailand. Paulo is also the Founder and Principal Investigator of the newly-created Lemann Center for Brazilian Education at Stanford, a 10-year initiative to transform public education in Brazil.
