About

Dr. Joyce Miranda dos Santos is a dedicated researcher whose work lies at the intersection of educational technology, project-based learning, and STEM workforce development in the Amazon region of Brazil. Her most cited paper, "ROBÔ-TI: Educational Robotics and Project-Based Learning Stimulating High School Students in the Information Technology Area" (2019, 18 citations), presents a pioneering initiative from the Federal Institute of Amazonas (IFAM) that uses educational robotics to address Brazil's critical shortage of IT professionals—a challenge especially acute in the state of Amazonas. Through this project, Dr. Santos demonstrates how hands-on, robotics-driven curricula can spark student interest in technology careers, offering a replicable model for underserved regions. Her work has been recognized for its practical impact on local education systems, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world skill development. By combining innovative pedagogy with regional development needs, Dr. Santos contributes valuable insights into how project-based learning can cultivate the next generation of IT professionals in areas where they are most needed.
