About
Justine Bourgeois is a rising force in robotics education, dedicated to making control and mobile robotics accessible to young learners. Her work centers on developing innovative, hands-on workshops that demystify complex engineering concepts for children, with a particular emphasis on promoting diversity and early engagement in STEM. Her most-cited paper, “(Re)CreativeRobot: Popularizing Workshop to Promote Control and Mobile Robotics for Kids” (2023, 5 citations), introduces a pioneering educational activity inspired by the “Girls in Control” workshop. In this program, children individually implement basic control algorithms on mobile robots, transforming abstract theory into tangible, playful experiences. By bridging the gap between academic robotics and K-12 education, Bourgeois’s contributions are helping to cultivate the next generation of engineers and problem-solvers. Her work not only advances pedagogical methods in robotics but also actively works to broaden participation in the field, making her a key figure in the movement to democratize technical education.
