About

Lorena Elizabeth Conde-Zhingre is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and early childhood education. Her work focuses on integrating AI literacy into primary school curricula, challenging the notion that complex computational concepts are reserved for older students. Her most cited study, “State of the Art of Teaching-Learning of Artificial Intelligence at Early Ages” (2021), synthesizes global efforts to introduce AI as both a didactic tool and a foundational science for children—a vision endorsed by UNESCO. With 5 citations in this emerging niche, Conde-Zhingre’s research provides critical frameworks for educators and policymakers seeking to democratize AI education from the earliest stages. Her contributions are particularly notable for bridging pedagogical theory with practical implementation, offering evidence-based strategies for developing young learners’ understanding of machine learning, ethical AI use, and problem-solving through technology. By advocating for AI as a core component of early education, she is helping shape a generation of digitally literate, critically thinking students prepared for an AI-driven world. Her work stands as a vital resource for researchers and practitioners committed to inclusive, forward-looking STEM education.
