Rucha is a STEM educator and computer science specialist teaching robotics and physical computing to grades 4–8 at Hudson Montessori, alongside a private Python tutoring practice. Her work with Cutebot and microbit focuses on project-based learning that separates computational thinking from tools—helping students build confidence in hardware and programming before introducing abstraction. She's an ISTE and CSTA member, presented at ISTELive, and is active in the computer science education community via her GitHub robotics curriculum repository. Her teaching aligns to CSTA and NGSS standards and centers on student agency, iteration, and tangible creative outcomes.
