About

Dr. Lannie Uwu-Khaeb is a pioneering researcher in educational robotics and computational thinking, with a focus on technology integration in under-resourced African classrooms. Her work centers on how robotics can simultaneously foster computational and design thinking skills, particularly among primary and secondary school learners in Namibia. In her landmark 2022 study, she demonstrated that learners with no prior programming experience could successfully apply both computational and design thinking during a two-day robotics workshop—a finding that has garnered 19 citations and reshaped perspectives on accessible STEM education. Dr. Uwu-Khaeb also developed a taxonomy for educational robotics at schools, providing a structured framework that has influenced curriculum design across the region. Her 2023 work on collaborative learning between primary and secondary school students further highlights her commitment to inclusive, peer-driven approaches in technology education. With a growing citation record and a reputation for bridging theory and practice, Dr. Uwu-Khaeb is a leading voice in making robotics education equitable and impactful in developing contexts.
