About

Vitor Bremgartner da Frota is a dedicated researcher and educator whose work lies at the intersection of educational robotics, project-based learning, and professional and technological education. His primary contributions focus on addressing Brazil’s critical shortage of qualified information technology professionals, particularly in the Amazonas region. Through the ROBÔ-TI project at the Federal Institute of Amazonas (IFAM), he has pioneered the use of educational robotics and interdisciplinary project-based learning to stimulate high school students’ interest in IT careers. His most-cited paper (2019, 18 citations) details this initiative, demonstrating how hands-on robotics can bridge educational gaps in underserved areas. More recently, his 2024 work (3 citations) extends this approach to train both teachers and students in Professional and Technological Education, emphasizing the scalability and sustainability of such interventions. Bremgartner’s research is notable for its direct societal impact, combining pedagogical innovation with regional development. By integrating robotics into curricula, he not only enhances technical skills but also fosters critical thinking and collaboration. His work serves as a model for using technology education to empower communities, making him a key figure in Brazil’s efforts to build a more robust IT workforce.
