About

Dr. Georgia Psyrra is a leading researcher in the integration of educational robotics (ER) into early childhood and primary education. Her work focuses on how tangible, programmable tools can foster computational thinking, collaboration, and engagement in young learners. Her most influential contribution, the 2023 scoping review "Robotics in the Context of Primary and Preschool Education," has already garnered 31 citations, establishing a critical foundation for the field. In this work, Dr. Psyrra systematically maps the emerging landscape of ER, identifying key pedagogical benefits and the pressing need for more robust, longitudinal studies. By synthesizing pilot project results, she provides compelling evidence for the systematic integration of robotics into K-12 curricula. Her research serves as an essential guide for educators and policymakers, bridging the gap between technological innovation and developmental best practices. Dr. Psyrra’s work not only highlights the potential of robotics as a transformative learning tool but also charts a clear path for future research, making her a pivotal voice in the movement to modernize early education through hands-on, technology-rich experiences.
