About

Claudia Alejandra Queiruga is a dedicated researcher in educational technology, focusing on integrating programming, robotics, and game-based learning into secondary school classrooms. Her work addresses the digital divide in Argentina, moving beyond mere access to technology toward active, creative engagement. A key contribution is the development of "RITA en RED," an enhanced version of the Robot Inventor to Teach Algorithms platform, designed to introduce block programming competitions in high schools. This work, along with her exploration of educational robotics and videogames, aims to make programming accessible and engaging for young students. Her research, published in Spanish-language venues, has garnered citations that reflect its practical impact on curriculum design. Queiruga’s notable achievements include the creation of "RemoteBot," an innovative client-server application that allows students to control robots via Android mobile devices, bridging software and hardware learning. By centering play and competition as didactic strategies, she has helped shape innovative educational scenarios in Argentina, directly influencing how programming is taught in secondary schools.
