Summary
Russell Feldhausen is a computer science educator and curriculum developer with over a decade of experience at Kansas State University, where he builds online and hybrid programs and teaches introductory programming and systems courses. He combines hands-on course design—often developing or significantly revising classes—with academic advising and program coordination, including work on a CyberCorps Scholarship for Service. His research and M.S. thesis translate into practical outreach: a STEM curriculum that teaches computational thinking to 5th–6th graders and measurably improves their self-efficacy. A lifelong student and “technology whisperer,” he pairs classroom pedagogy with prior IT support leadership, supervising help desks and supporting large departmental operations. Based in Kansas City, he brings a pragmatic blend of pedagogy, student mentoring, and operational IT experience to scalable CS education initiatives.
