About
Dr. Kalliopi Kanaki is a leading voice in early childhood education, pioneering the integration of computational thinking, robotics, and environmental awareness. Her research demonstrates that even the youngest learners can develop algorithmic thinking through hands-on, multidisciplinary activities. Her most cited work, “Fostering Algorithmic Thinking and Environmental Awareness via Bee-Bot Activities in Early Childhood Education” (2025, 10 citations), provides a practical framework for using programmable robots to cultivate essential 21st-century skills while simultaneously fostering ecological consciousness. A foundational scoping review (2023, 6 citations) further established the field by mapping how robotics can reshape children’s value systems toward sustainability, a need amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Kanaki’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between abstract computational concepts and tangible, playful learning experiences. Her work is not only highly cited but also directly actionable for educators, offering a clear path to nurture both digital literacy and environmental stewardship from the earliest stages of development.
