Kerstin Reese

Kerstin Reese serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science Education at Saarland University, based at the Saarland Informatics Campus (Campus E1 3, Room 324, Saarbrücken, Germany). She organizes the InfoLab Saar, a student laboratory providing computer science education opportunities for students from first grade through high school, while supporting university-level teaching students with laboratory equipment and outreach activities.

Her research centers on:

• Practical programming education using Scratch, Python, and Calliope mini hardware
• K-12 computer science curriculum development
• Remote teaching methodologies via video conferencing
• University-school collaboration for educational outreach
• Teacher training in computational thinking

Analysis of her 2017-2021 publications reveals consistent innovation in computer science education delivery, with emphasis on adaptable laboratory models, graphical programming tools, and responsive teaching during remote learning scenarios. Her work bridges theoretical pedagogy with hands-on implementation across multiple educational levels.

Reese directs the InfoLab Saar's operational framework, which includes:

• Hosting school-aged students at university facilities
• Deploying mobile courses to local schools
• Presenting at public festivals and events
• Providing equipment resources for teaching students
• Developing specialized seminars like "Campus Mystery" and "Fact or Fiction?"
