About
Laura Cassone is a researcher at the intersection of creativity, learning, and technology, with a primary focus on educational robotics and collaborative problem-solving. Her work investigates how the materiality and interactivity of technological objects—specifically modular robotics—shape creative processes and group dynamics in educational settings. Cassone’s major contribution lies in developing frameworks to assess divergent thinking through hands-on, interactive learning environments, moving beyond traditional paper-based creativity tests. Her most-cited paper (2021, 22 citations) argues that idea generation in educational robotics is mediated by the technological object itself, allowing for a more nuanced observation of creativity components. In a related study (2020, 10 citations), she addresses the methodological challenge of assessing group processes in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), analyzing how fluidity, flexibility, and originality emerge during problem-solving tasks with modular robotics. Cassone’s work is notable for bridging creativity research with tangible, interactive learning tools, offering educators and designers new ways to foster and evaluate innovation in collaborative, technology-rich classrooms. Her findings are increasingly relevant as robotics becomes more integrated into STEM and design education.
