About
Alethia Holstein is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of child-robot interaction, STEAM education, and AI ethics. Her work centers on developing innovative, informal learning environments—particularly child-robot theater programs—to introduce young learners to complex topics in robotics and artificial intelligence. Her major contributions include designing and implementing a nine-week afterschool program that uses robot theater as a platform to teach both STEAM concepts and ethical considerations surrounding AI. This approach not only engages children creatively but also fosters critical discussions about responsible technology use. Her most cited paper, "Bridging the Gap: Early Education on Robot and AI Ethics through the Robot Theater Platform in an Informal Learning Environment" (2024, 7 citations), demonstrates the growing interest in her methods. With additional work exploring children’s perceptions of AI and robots, Holstein is shaping how we educate the next generation to coexist thoughtfully with intelligent machines. Her research is vital for educators, technologists, and policymakers aiming to build an ethically aware, tech-literate future.
