About

Susana Celis-Tena is a leading researcher in educational technology, specializing in challenge-based learning, STEAM integration, and computational thinking development. Her most significant contribution is the RoboSTEAM project, an Erasmus+ initiative that redefines how students acquire 21st-century skills by merging robotics, arts, and science education. Her seminal 2019 paper, "RoboSTEAM - A Challenge Based Learning Approach for integrating STEAM and develop Computational Thinking," has garnered 57 citations, establishing her as a key voice in modern pedagogy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Celis-Tena demonstrated remarkable adaptability, authoring "Adaption of RoboSTEAM Project to the Pandemic Situation" (10 citations), which provided crucial frameworks for transitioning hands-on STEAM activities to blended and online environments. Her 2020 work, "Exchanging Challenge Based Learning Experiences in the Context of RoboSTEAM Erasmus+ Project" (9 citations), further solidified her reputation by documenting cross-institutional collaboration strategies. Celis-Tena’s research directly addresses the urgent need for digitally fluent professionals, offering educators practical, scalable solutions for teaching computational thinking through interdisciplinary challenges. Her work continues to shape how schools and universities prepare students for an ICT-driven world, making her an essential reference for researchers and practitioners in STEM education.
