About

K. Papageorgiou is a researcher whose work bridges the intersection of educational technology and robotics. Their primary research areas include digital game-based learning, robotics education, and the integration of interactive programming tools to enhance STEM instruction. A notable contribution is their 2020 study on "Digital game-based learning in a robotics course," which explores the use of Scratch-based games—specifically a classic tank war simulation—to teach autonomous vehicle concepts at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná. This work, garnering 4 citations, demonstrates how gamification can make complex robotics principles more accessible and engaging for students. Papageorgiou’s research highlights the potential of combining playful design with technical curricula, offering practical insights for educators seeking to motivate learners through hands-on, game-driven experiences. Their work contributes to a growing body of evidence that digital games can serve as effective pedagogical tools in engineering and computer science education, paving the way for more interactive and student-centered learning environments.
