Educational robotics as a strategy for social inclusion and pedagogical intervention in vulnerable youth communities
The results underscore the potential of educational robotics to serve not just as a pedagogical instrument but also as a transformative vehicle for fostering inclusion, motivation, and equity in marginalized environments. The initiative also demonstrates the significance of university-community collaboration in addressing educational inequality through innovation. Challenges include maintaining long-term impact and scaling the model to other contexts with similar vulnerabilities.
