About

Dr. Igor Matyushchenko is a leading researcher in the integration of robotics and digital education, with a primary focus on fostering algorithmic thinking and engineering competencies in the context of Russia’s digital transformation. His most influential work, “Development of Algorithmic Thinking by Means of Lego Mindstorms Ev3 on Robotics” (2020), has garnered 9 citations and stands as a cornerstone contribution to STEAM education pedagogy. In this study, Matyushchenko demonstrates how hands-on robotics platforms like LEGO Mindstorms EV3 can be systematically leveraged to cultivate the logical reasoning and problem-solving skills essential for modern engineering personnel. His research bridges the gap between theoretical computer science concepts and tangible, project-based learning, offering educators a replicable framework for nurturing the next generation of innovators. By aligning his work with national priorities for digital development, Matyushchenko has positioned himself as a key figure in the movement to modernize technical education. His contributions are particularly valuable for researchers and practitioners seeking evidence-based strategies to embed computational thinking into K-12 and early university curricula, making him a vital voice in the global dialogue on 21st-century skill development.
