Doctoral Research Overview

I am interested in the analysis and design of social software that empowers people and lets them learn by creating personally meaningful artifacts with others. A lot of my work focuses on the Scratch Online Community, a large website I created, where thousands of young people from around the world share their own animations and video games. My research is informed by the fields of human computer interaction, Web science and the social sciences. Author
