About

Eloisa Acha is an innovative researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on integrating robotics and programming into elementary mathematics instruction. Her most influential work, "Teaching Math in Elementary Schools by LabVIEW and Lego Robots" (2017, 13 citations), pioneers a hands-on, constructivist approach that uses Lego robotics and LabVIEW software to make abstract mathematical concepts tangible for young learners. This contribution has been recognized as a practical model for STEM education, demonstrating how computational thinking and physical manipulation can enhance student engagement and understanding in early math curricula. Acha’s research bridges the gap between engineering tools and pedagogical practice, offering educators a replicable framework for fostering problem-solving skills. While her citation count reflects the niche but growing interest in this interdisciplinary field, her work stands out for its direct classroom applicability and potential to reshape how foundational math is taught. Acha’s contributions are particularly notable for their emphasis on accessibility, showing that even complex programming environments can be adapted for primary education. Her research continues to inspire educators and technologists seeking to democratize STEM learning from the earliest grades.
