About
Igor Mariz Dantas is an emerging researcher in educational robotics and STEM outreach, with a focus on democratizing technology access in Brazilian public schools. His most-cited work, a 2023 case study on implementing an extension project in educational robotics in Natal/RN, documents a pioneering initiative that trained primary school students for the SESI Robotics Tournament. By integrating robotics into Geography classes, Dantas demonstrated how low-cost, hands-on projects can foster technical skills and teamwork in underserved communities. Although his citation count is currently modest—4 citations for his flagship paper—the work’s practical impact is significant: it provides a replicable model for bridging the digital divide and has been recognized as a key reference for similar outreach programs in the region. Dantas’s contributions lie in translating theoretical robotics education into actionable, community-embedded projects, offering a blueprint for educators and policymakers aiming to inspire future engineers and scientists from diverse backgrounds. His research underscores the transformative potential of extension activities in public education.
