About
Amy Eguchi is a pioneering researcher in educational robotics, whose work has fundamentally shaped how robotics is understood and implemented as a pedagogical tool across K-12 and higher education settings. With a scholarly career spanning over two decades, Eguchi has consistently championed the integration of robotics into classrooms as a means of fostering STEM literacy, 21st-century skills, and active, inquiry-based learning. Her most influential contributions include her landmark studies on RoboCupJunior, which collectively demonstrate how competitive robotics can serve as a powerful motivational and educational framework, earning over 326 combined citations. Her 2014 and 2015 papers on promoting 21st-century skills through educational robotics have become essential references in the field, accumulating nearly 430 citations between them. Notably, Eguchi's early work brought robotics curricula to inner-city schools in New York City, using LEGO Mindstorms to make physics and mathematics accessible to underrepresented middle and high school students—a commitment to equity that runs throughout her career. Across her body of work, totaling over 950 citations, Eguchi has successfully bridged theory and classroom practice, establishing educational robotics not merely as a novelty, but as a rich, research-backed learning environment with transformative potential.
