William Babbitt, PhD

Greetings!

My name is William Babbitt, I recently completed a PhD in the Multidisciplinary Science program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a concentration in Computer Science. My research investigates the design practices of indigenous artisans, translates their knowledge into software simulations, and evaluates these design tools in STEM education

Pictured above left is Gabriel Boakye, Adinkra artisan in Ghana. Above right are students in a Ghanaian ICT classroom using the resulting Adinkra design tool.
