About
Heyson Baez is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of engineering education and accessible technology. His primary research areas include the pedagogical applications of single-board computers (SBCs) and the use of robotics as a platform for active learning. Baez’s most significant contribution is his highly cited systematic literature review, “Understanding the role of single‐board computers in engineering and computer science education,” which has garnered 33 citations. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of how low-cost, versatile devices like Raspberry Pi are transforming curricula, making hands-on computing education more accessible worldwide. Earlier in his career, Baez explored experiential learning through his work on “Application of an educational strategy based on a soccer robotic platform,” which integrated classical conditioning and reinforcement techniques within the RoboCup Small Size League framework. Though less cited, this project demonstrates his long-standing commitment to bridging theoretical pedagogy with tangible, competitive robotics challenges. Through his scholarship, Baez has helped define best practices for integrating affordable hardware into STEM classrooms, offering educators a roadmap for fostering technical skills and problem-solving in students.
