About

Ran Peleg is a leading researcher in the intersection of educational robotics, informal science learning, and museum pedagogy. His work explores how interactive, play-based environments—such as escape games and science theatre—can enhance engagement and deepen understanding of STEM concepts. Peleg’s most cited paper, "Exploring Escape Games as a Teaching Tool in Educational Robotics" (2019, 37 citations), demonstrates the potential of gamified challenges to foster problem-solving and collaboration in robotics education. His earlier study, "Learning Robotics in a Science Museum Theatre Play" (2017, 22 citations), investigates how theatrical contexts and real-world experiences shape learning outcomes, bridging formal and informal education. By integrating robotics with immersive storytelling and hands-on puzzles, Peleg has pioneered novel approaches that make complex technical subjects accessible and exciting for diverse audiences. His work is widely recognized for its practical impact on curriculum design and museum programming, inspiring educators to rethink how robotics can be taught beyond the classroom.
