Roversa on the Road: Conference Highlights

From Virginia to Montréal, Roversa Robotics has been on the move—connecting with educators, researchers, and innovators to share tools, insights, and ideas that advance computer science education.

At VSTE in Virginia Beach, Roversa joined the CodeVA Playground and contributed to two impactful sessions:

• A Global Approach to Equitable CS Education – We shared how the Global Center for Equitable CS Education, a collaboration between the University of Virginia and Universidad del Norte in Colombia, is working to make CS education more accessible from early childhood through high school. Through research, professional learning, and tool development—including Roversa—participants explored strategies for integrating CS into a variety of subject areas and settings.
  
• Designing Custom Multilingual Coding Environments for Language Learners using MakeCode and Micro:bit – Co-presented with Robyn DiCarlo of Loudoun County Public Schools, this session highlighted how Roversa supports language learners in dual-language immersion programs through custom coding experiences.

These sessions highlighted how Roversa supports diverse learners through flexible coding platforms and globally minded pedagogy.

At ASEE in Montréal, we shared our Low-cost Educational Robotics (LCER) Design Framework, created to guide researchers and designers in developing robotics platforms that are adaptable, affordable, and accessible to all learners. Read the full paper here

At CSTA in Cleveland, we co-presented Zero to Robots: Engaging Elementary Educators in CS Education with Kelly Baer of Salem City Schools. We shared how Roversa empowers elementary teachers with the tools and confidence to bring robotics into their classrooms. Read the case study here.

These events reinforced what drives us at Roversa: the power of collaboration, creativity, and accessibility in computer science education. Whether we're in classrooms or conference halls, we’re committed to helping educators bring robotics to life in ways that are meaningful, multilingual, and inclusive.
