About

Dr. Maria Ramos is a leading researcher in technology-enhanced education, with a primary focus on integrating robotics, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), and computational thinking into modern learning environments. Her most significant contributions center on the **RoboSTEAM Project**, an Erasmus+ initiative that designs and implements challenge-based learning approaches using physical devices and robotics. Through this project, Dr. Ramos has developed practical frameworks that equip students with essential problem-solving skills for the digital society. Her work, including the widely referenced "RoboSTEAM Project" (2021) and detailed pilot descriptions such as the Emídio Garcia School Pilot in Bragança, Portugal, has garnered growing recognition, with her top papers accumulating over a dozen citations. Notably, she has led the pilot phases of the RoboSTEAM initiative, demonstrating how hands-on, challenge-driven pedagogy can foster computational thinking and STEAM competencies. Dr. Ramos’s research is particularly impactful for educators and curriculum designers seeking evidence-based strategies to prepare students for a rapidly evolving technological landscape, making her a key voice in the future of STEM education.
