ABOUT

Dr. Shuchi Grover currently serves as the Director of Research and Impact at the Raspberry Pi Foundation. A transformational leader in K-12 computer science education, Dr. Grover harnesses computational thinking and AI literacy to prepare students for a digital world through groundbreaking research and innovative pedagogical approaches. Her research focuses on K-12 CS education, computational thinking, AI literacy, and STEM+Computing integration.

A learning scientist and computer scientist by training, Dr. Grover was a key member of the National K-12 Computer Science Framework team and has held leadership roles in Computer Science Teachers' Association taskforces. She served on the ACM Education Advisory Committee and editorial board of ACM Transactions on Computing Education. As an international consultant, she advises the EU-funded GenerationAI project in Finland and collaborates with TeachAI—an international partnership with the World Economic Forum—authoring guidance briefs for teachers on CS education in the age of AI.

Dr. Grover received the prestigious 2024 Henry and Bryna David Award from the US National Academies, recognizing her as a leading researcher who draws insights from behavioral and social sciences to inform public policy. She has been nominated as a 2025 CS Hero by the Computer Science Teachers Association for her transformative contributions to the field. Her research has over 10,000 citations, and her paper "Teaching AI to K-12 Learners" won the Best Paper award at SIGCSE 2024.

She has directed multiple National Science Foundation-funded projects and worked with international teams for two decades. She edited the acclaimed "Computer Science in K-12: An A-To-Z Handbook on Teaching Programming," coordinating 40 educators and researchers from seven countries. Her cross-cultural experiences as a South-Asian learning scientist fuel her commitment to democratizing computing access, particularly for girls and underrepresented communities.

Dr. Grover earned undergraduate degrees in computer science and physics from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, a master's in computer science from Case Western Reserve University, an Ed.M. in Technology, Innovation, and Education from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in Learning Sciences and Technology Design from Stanford University, uniquely positioning her to bridge technical expertise with educational theory across diverse global contexts.
