About

Dr. Thalia Katiane Sampaio Gurgel is a dedicated researcher at the intersection of educational technology and robotics, with a primary focus on how digital tools can transform learning environments. Her most cited work, "RepositORE: A Learning Objects Repository for Educational Robotics" (2022, 5 citations), introduces a pioneering platform that curates and organizes reusable learning objects specifically designed for educational robotics. This contribution addresses a critical gap in the field by providing educators and students with a centralized, accessible repository that streamlines the integration of robotics into curricula, making complex technological projects more dynamic and engaging. Dr. Gurgel’s research underscores the power of educational robotics to foster hands-on, interdisciplinary learning, where students develop technical skills alongside creativity and problem-solving. By creating RepositORE, she has laid foundational infrastructure for scaling robotics education, enabling broader adoption in schools and informal learning settings. Her work reflects a deep commitment to democratizing access to educational technologies, ensuring that the benefits of robotics are not limited to specialized labs but become part of everyday learning experiences. Through her innovative approach, Dr. Gurgel continues to shape how technology can make education more interactive, inclusive, and inspiring for learners worldwide.
