About

Evangelos-Diomidis Sagias is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of educational technology and computer science pedagogy, with a particular focus on making programming accessible and engaging through innovative tools. His key research areas include educational robotics, virtual learning environments, and the development of interactive platforms for teaching algorithmic thinking. Sagias’s major contribution is his exploration of the virtual robot Karel—one of the earliest educational programming tools, originally developed in 1981—and its implementation in 3D environments. By modernizing this classic teaching aid, he demonstrates how foundational concepts in computer science can be revitalized for contemporary learners, bridging the gap between historical pedagogical methods and modern immersive technologies. His 2024 paper, "Educational Robotics: The Implementation of Karel in 3D," has garnered initial citations, signaling growing interest in his approach. Sagias’s work is particularly notable for its focus on hands-on, visual learning, which helps demystify complex programming concepts for students and researchers alike. Through his research, he continues to contribute to the evolution of computer science education, making it more intuitive and engaging for a new generation of learners.
