About
Robin Samuelsson is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of early childhood education, technology, and computational thinking. Specializing in how young children engage with robots, artificial intelligence, and programming, Samuelsson has made notable contributions to our understanding of child-centered approaches to introducing computing concepts in educational settings. His most influential work, "A Shape of Play to Come" (2023, 22 citations), breaks new ground by centering children's own voices and imaginaries in conversations about AI and robotics — a perspective often overlooked in broader technology debates. This research highlights the value of including young learners as active participants in shaping technological futures rather than passive recipients. Samuelsson's broader portfolio addresses critical questions about how educational systems can authentically integrate new technologies without simply layering them onto outdated curricula. His 2024 studies explore thoughtful learning designs for toddlers and systemic pathways for computational transformation in early education. Notably, his work on Ukrainian folk tales and programmable robots demonstrates a creative commitment to blending cultural heritage with technological engagement. Collectively, his research offers educators and policymakers a nuanced, child-first framework for navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of educational technology.
