I write about education, technology, and the ways they intersect. My posts explore topics such as educational robotics, artificial intelligence in schools, digital innovation, and constructionist approaches to learning, with a particular focus on inclusion and gender equity. I share reflections from conferences, workshops, and research projects, together with ideas and practices that inspire me in my work with teachers, students, and the broader learning community.
On March 21, 2024, I joined IRIS 2024, the national event organized by the IEEE Women in Engineering Italy Section during STEM Week. The initiative gave schools from preschool to high school a platform to share projects promoting STEM education and gender equality. Among the highlights was I.C. 2 Chioggia (Veneto), which presented “Un tuffo …
On February 19, I had the chance to return — this time not only as a researcher, but also as someone who once belonged to the Équipe Formativa Territoriale of USR Veneto — to help organize a full day of training on educational robotics at the Competence Centre SMACT in Padua, in collaboration with the …
I recently had the honour of serving as testimonial at the “Un tuffo nelle STEAM” initiative, held at the Istituto Comprensivo Sottomarina Nord in Chioggia, part of the National STEAM Week established by the Italian Ministry of Education. Over four days—from February 5 to 8, 2024—students from primary and secondary schools immersed themselves in a …
There were many new things to see — and even more inspiring people to meet — at this year’s Bett in London. Among the many photos I took, I chose this one as a symbol. It’s a simple pendant, a gift from two children from a school in Hong Kong. They were at Bett together …
Robots are becoming increasingly present in our daily lives: from toy robots to robot vacuum cleaners, robot lawnmowers, and soon even self-driving cars. Guided by Prof. Menegatti — with my support — students learned what a robot is, how to program it, and how its sensors work. They also built a robot car that was …
On November 21, I was at the University of Bergamo to share the data I have been collecting on the gender gap within a project on robotics and migrant girls. It was a valuable opportunity to discuss these findings with Prof. Pivetti (University of Bergamo), Prof. Datteri (University of Milano-Bicocca), and his research group. Exchanging …
Grateful and honored to have been among the speakers at the Learning More Festival 2023 in Modena.Seeing my photo included in the official post was truly moving. I hope my contribution was meaningful for the many colleagues who joined the session. Sometimes it feels like the world is moving faster and faster, while change in …
Robotics and technology have always fascinated me, not only as tools for innovation but also as ways to make learning more engaging and meaningful. As a primary school teacher, I started experimenting with digital storytelling, coding, and eventually with low-cost robotics projects, bringing small but important changes into my classroom. These first steps showed me …
