Evgeniia Bonnet

About

Evgeniia Bonnet is a leading researcher at the intersection of computational thinking (CT), educational robotics (ER), and STEM pedagogy, with a particular focus on primary education and cross-continental collaboration. Her most influential work, a 2022 study with 86 citations, demonstrates how targeted feedback and guidance interventions can effectively foster CT in young learners using ER activities—a critical contribution as CT becomes recognized as a 21st-century essential skill. Bonnet is also a pioneer in global educational robotics, having conceived and led the R2T2 project (2016, 30 citations), the first cross-continental collaborative robotic event involving over 100 children from Europe and Africa, centered on a space rescue scenario. This work evolved into a scalable model for developing countries, particularly in Africa, as detailed in her 2021 paper. Additionally, her exploration of escape games as teaching tools (2019, 37 citations) showcases her innovative approach to making robotics education engaging. With a career spanning impactful empirical studies and visionary international initiatives, Bonnet has established herself as a key figure in making computational and STEM education accessible, collaborative, and effective for diverse young learners worldwide.
