About

Maria Stergiopoulou is a dedicated researcher in the fields of educational robotics and STEM education, with a particular focus on integrating hands-on, technology-driven learning into primary school curricula. Her most cited work, a 2017 pilot study, explores the use of the H&S Electronic Systems Platform to introduce young learners to foundational concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This study, which has garnered 13 citations, demonstrates her commitment to developing practical, scalable tools that bridge theoretical pedagogy with real-world classroom application. Stergiopoulou’s contributions lie in designing and evaluating accessible robotic platforms that foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving among children. Her research underscores the transformative potential of early exposure to engineering principles, offering educators evidence-based strategies for implementing STEM programs. By focusing on primary education, she addresses a crucial gap in the literature, advocating for age-appropriate, engaging interventions that prepare students for future technological challenges. Stergiopoulou’s work continues to inspire educators and researchers seeking to make STEM education more inclusive and effective from the earliest stages of learning.
