About

Dr. Julia P. Lasnig is pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence and robotics into mainstream education, with a focused mission to democratize technical literacy for the next generation. Her most influential work, the 2019 paper "Enabling the Creation of Intelligent Things: Bringing Artificial Intelligence and Robotics to Schools" (37 citations), introduces a groundbreaking framework for developing a standardized, internationally recognized system to train and certify teachers and students in AI. This innovative practice paper outlines a professional curriculum that empowers young learners not merely as consumers of technology, but as creators of intelligent systems. Dr. Lasnig’s major contribution lies in bridging the critical gap between advanced AI research and K-12 pedagogy, establishing scalable protocols for hands-on robotics and machine learning education. Her work addresses a pressing global need for AI-ready workforces by equipping educators with the tools to foster computational thinking from an early age. As a recognized leader in educational technology, Dr. Lasnig’s research directly shapes policy and practice, ensuring that the next generation is prepared to build, rather than just use, the intelligent things of tomorrow.
