Prof. Marina Bers                                    Tufts University

     My research interests are in virtual worlds for education; new interfaces for learning,

    robotics for young children; and the uses of technology for positive youth development.

    My work involves the design and study of innovative learning technologies to promote

    youth development. At Tufts I head the interdisciplinary Developmental Technologies

    research group. Over the past fourteen years I have conceived and designed diverse

    technological tools ranging from robotics to virtual worlds and conducted studies in

    schools, after school programs and hospitals, in the US, Argentina, Colombia, Spain,

    Costa Rica and Thailand. I teach seminars on learning technologies for educators

    and do consulting on the use of technologies to promote positive youth development.
