About
Dr. Anna Longhi is an educational researcher whose work bridges STEM education, smart city concepts, and educational robotics. Her most cited paper, “RETHINK LORETO: WE BUILD OUR SMART CITY!” (2016, 11 citations), presents a pioneering STEM education experience that introduces young students to the idea of smart cities through hands-on educational robotics. This work exemplifies her core contribution: designing innovative, project-based learning approaches that equip the next generation with critical problem-solving skills for tackling complex, real-world challenges. By integrating technology, urban planning, and collaborative design, Longhi’s research demonstrates how robotics can serve as a powerful pedagogical tool to foster systems thinking and civic engagement among students. Her approach is notable for its emphasis on seeing the world as it is today—complex and interconnected—and preparing learners to navigate and shape it. Though her citation count is modest, her work has clear practical impact, offering a replicable model for educators seeking to make abstract concepts like sustainability and digital citizenship tangible and exciting for young minds. Longhi’s research is a compelling example of how educational innovation can inspire the next generation of engineers, urban planners, and engaged citizens.
