About

Liz S. Bernedo-Flores is a leading researcher in educational robotics, with a primary focus on developing structured, age-appropriate curricula for young learners. Her most significant contribution is the creation of EDUROSC-Kids, an educational robotics standard curriculum designed to introduce children to robotics in a methodical and engaging way. Her foundational 2019 paper, "EDUROSC-Kids: An Educational Robotics Standard Curriculum for Kids," established the framework for this initiative, while her highly cited 2021 work, "A Methodological Approach to the Learning of Robotics with EDUROSC-Kids" (38 citations), provides a detailed pedagogical methodology for implementing the curriculum. Together, these works address a critical gap in the field: the need for a systematic, scaffolded approach to teaching robotics to children, moving beyond ad-hoc activities. Bernedo-Flores’s research emphasizes hands-on learning and structured progression, ensuring that students build both technical skills and problem-solving abilities. Her work has been instrumental in shaping how robotics is integrated into primary education, offering educators a proven model that balances theory with practice. By focusing on the early years, she is helping to cultivate the next generation of innovators and engineers.
