Born 1947

Professional Life
Elliot Soloway began his research with how people learn to program computers. Over time his work moved to how computers can help people learn. (cite and improve)

As a professor, Soloway has taught and mentored thousands of students.

In addition to teaching and research, Soloway has been an active participant in multiple professional organizations and founded some companies to further the implementation of his research into academics. (fill out and cite)

With Dr. Cathie Norris, he has developed the Collabrify Roadmap Platform. This year long curricula for kindergarten through fifth grade students was used in the 2021-2022 school year by over 4,000 students.
