MARI LUZ GUENAGA
Associate professor at the Faculty of Engeneering, University of Deusto
PhD in computer engineering, I am associate professor at the Engineering Faculty – University of Deusto, since 1998, and director of Deusto LearningLab group (2011-2022). I obtained my PhD with the thesis “Integral Accessibility of Digital Resource Centres for People with Visual Disability”. My research interests focus on the innovative use of technology in STEAM* education, learning analytics and game-based learning. I teach subjects related to computer programming, human-computer interaction and data visualization. I participate in European projects aiming at improving STEM education, developing computational thinking skills among primary and secondary school students, and raising their interest towards technology, especially among girls. I also participate and organize dissemination and knowledge transference actions to reach the educational community and improve the STEAM education with the result of our work.
*STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths).

This work is expected to clarify the advantages and pitfalls of generative AI applied to college-level programming learning.
This study discusses creating and using GAME (Goals And Motivation Engine), a system that can be changed to fit different CS projects like SOCIO-BEE. It helps overcome the problems of keeping people interested and motivated.
The R3 Project aims to bridge STEM education gaps in rural schools using remote experimentation, ensuring equal opportunities for all students.
BRIDGE is a 2-year Erasmus+ funded project running until the end of 2026. It aims to enhance digital literacy among educators and students by providing training, resources, and social dialogue sessions about computational thinking.
Translated as “Women in Science”, it aims at promoting the presence of women in the field of science and research, seeking to increase their visibility and participation in scientific disciplines, especially in fields where they have historically been underrepresented.
The GALAXIA program aims to improve the professional guidance of young people (+14 y.o.), especially those linked to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
LAIA Eskola, la escuela para la igualdad y el empoderamiento de las mujeres de Álava, organiza una charla-coloquio para hablar sobre la situación de las mujeres en las titulaciones STEAM.
