About
Iratxe Menchaca is a researcher at the forefront of technology-enhanced learning, specializing in the integration of serious games, remote laboratories, and augmented reality to transform computer science education. Her most cited work, "Serious Games, Remote Laboratories and Augmented Reality to Develop and Assess Programming Skills" (2014), with 7 citations, pioneers a multimodal approach that merges immersive digital environments with hands-on remote experimentation. Menchaca’s key contribution lies in designing interactive platforms that not only teach programming concepts but also assess learner progress in real time, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. By leveraging augmented reality to overlay virtual coding challenges onto physical spaces, she has created engaging, accessible tools that democratize skill development, particularly for students lacking access to traditional labs. Her work underscores a commitment to making STEM education more inclusive and effective through playful, technology-driven methodologies. As a thought leader in educational technology, Menchaca continues to inspire educators and researchers to rethink how we cultivate computational thinking in the digital age.
