About

Manolis Wallace is a leading researcher in educational robotics, with a focused mission to transform how collaboration and social justice are cultivated in primary education. His work centers on developing structured methodologies that move beyond the simple use of robotics kits, instead using them as a platform for fostering essential 21st-century skills. Wallace’s major contribution is the creation of the CORE (Collaboration-Oriented Robotics Education) methodology, a framework specifically designed to nurture teamwork and collaboration skills in young students. His most cited work, "Collaboration Skills in Educational Robotics: A Methodological Approach" (2023, 21 citations), provides empirical evidence from case studies, demonstrating how his approach can be effectively implemented in real classrooms. Beyond skill development, Wallace addresses equity in STEAM education, notably in his work "Pursuing Social Justice in Educational Robotics" (2022, 7 citations), which tackles the critical issue of ensuring that robotics education is inclusive and accessible to all students, not just a select few. Through a growing body of research, Wallace is shaping a future where educational robotics serves as a powerful tool for both cognitive and social development.
