An artist by training, Dr. Peppler is a Professor of Informatics and Professor of Education at University of California, Irvine, where she engages in research that focuses on the design of new technologies to support learning and participation within traditionally minoritized populations, particularly at the intersection of the arts and STEM learning ecosystems.
Dr. Peppler earned an NSF early CAREER award for her work on how e-textiles and other computational construction kits popularized through the Maker movement can deepen learning and broaden participation across a range of STEM fields. Dr. Peppler's studies have been published in leading journals in the fields of education, technology and the arts, including Science Education; Computers & Human Behavior; Mind, Culture & Activity; British Journal of Educational Technology; Journal of Science and Educational Technology; Studies in Arts Education; Review of Research in Education; Teachers College Record; and Learning, Media & Technology, among many others. Additionally, Dr. Peppler is the author or editor of over 10 books published by a range of outlets, including MIT Press, Peter Lang, Routledge, SAGE Publications, and Teachers College Press.
Through this work, Dr. Peppler has received several awards, including the Mira Tech Educator of the Year, Indiana Governor's Award for Tomorrow's Leaders, American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Pre-College Engineering Education Division Best Paper Award, One of 20 nominated for SIGCSE Top Ten Papers of All Time Award, Outstanding Junior Faculty Award from Indiana University, and Outstanding Alumni Early Career Award from Psychological and Brain Studies at Indiana University. Her work has been consistently supported by the National Science Foundation as well as a range of foundations, federal and industry partners, including the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the Wallace Foundation, Google.org, Wellcome Trust, US Department of Education, Boeing, Indiana Department of Education, New York Community Trust, Chicago Community Trust, Best Buy, Fossil Foundation, GAP Inc., National Geographic, as well as the Center for Craft, Creativity, and Design.
Dr. Peppler sits on the Editorial Boards for the International Journal for Computer Supported Collaborative Learning and Computer Science Education and has recently served as Guest Editor for the British Journal of Educational Technology and Sustainability. Dr. Peppler was also the lead editor of the two-volume SAGE Encyclopedia of Out-of-School Learning.

UCI School of
Education: Interview with Informatics Professor Kylie
Peppler
Kylie Peppler sits down with Dean Richard Arum to share her views on connected learning, the
intersection of new technology and the arts, and maker culture.
Talks
Dr. Peppler shares the latest research findings regularly, with over 100 refereed talks at conferences, such as the American Educational Research Association (AERA), Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS), Connected Learning Summit (CLS), and others, in addition to over 130 invited talks around the world. Dr. Peppler has given over 15 keynote presentations--including those at the NSF CyberLearning Synthesis and Envisioning Meeting, American Library Association, FabLearn Conference, Make:Education Forum, Harvard/MIT Learning and the Brain Conference, among others--and has been invited to give presentations at several distinguished national meetings, such as speaking at the Consortium for Schools Networking (CoSN), Smithsonian, White House Champions for Computer Science, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, National Academies and was the Distinguished Lecturer at the National Science Foundation on her work on new collaborative design technologies.
