Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThibault Desprez is an independent trainer and entrepreneur focused on bringing educational robotics into French schools, combining 11 years of hands-on experience with academic research. He holds a PhD from the University of Bordeaux where his work investigated how robotic kits affect student motivation, perseverance and knowledge construction across disciplines. He blends cognitive science, ergonomics and MIASHS-trained quantitative thinking to design adaptable technologies that fit diverse motor and intellectual needs. As a former Inria researcher and postdoc, he led design and ecological evaluations of pedagogical robotics projects like Poppy Education and Persévérons. Thibault’s practice is notable for treating robotics not just as tools but as socio-technical interventions—measuring how tool shape, resources and introduction strategies change classroom pedagogy and student engagement.
