Rafaelli Coutinho is a dedicated researcher in educational technology and gender equality, with a focus on integrating robotics into basic education to foster technological literacy and inclusivity. Her major contribution lies in developing pedagogical approaches that use robotics as a tool to spark interest in technology among young students, particularly girls, addressing the persistent gender gap in STEM fields. Her most-cited paper, "Despertando o interesse pelo conhecimento tecnológico usando Robótica: uma experiência na Educação Básica para igualdade de gênero" (2020), with 5 citations, documents a pioneering classroom experience that demonstrates how hands-on robotics activities can empower female students and challenge stereotypes. This work highlights her commitment to creating equitable learning environments and inspiring the next generation of women in technology. Coutinho’s research not only advances practical teaching methods but also contributes to broader societal goals of diversity and inclusion in the tech workforce. Her efforts are particularly timely as the demand for technology professionals grows, making her work a vital resource for educators and policymakers aiming to close the gender gap.
