I'm Xichen Li, with five years of experience designing hands-on and digital learning experiences across STEM, CTE, and project-based learning.
I hold an M.A. in Instructional Technology and Media from Teachers College, Columbia University.
Outside of work, I lead an 800+ member educator community across U.S.–China networks, sharing STEM/PBL resources and supporting classroom implementation.
What I Stand Against:
❌ program that has no impact on behavior
❌ content without context
❌ passive learning experiences
What I Champion:
