About

Samuel Ortega is a leading researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on sustainable educational robotics and its integration into primary school curricula. His work explores how robotics and programming can serve as innovative, versatile tools that adapt to active learning methodologies, particularly during times of crisis. Ortega’s most cited paper, "Sustainable Educational Robotics. Contingency Plan during Lockdown in Primary School" (2021, 9 citations), is a landmark study that addresses the abrupt shift to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this work, he developed a contingency plan to maintain hands-on robotics education when physical resources were inaccessible, demonstrating how technology can bridge gaps in remote instruction. This contribution has proven vital for educators seeking resilient, adaptable teaching strategies. Ortega’s research not only advances the field of educational robotics but also provides practical frameworks for sustaining student engagement and learning continuity under challenging circumstances. His work continues to inspire innovative approaches to technology-enhanced education, making him a key voice in the conversation on future-ready classrooms.
