Mrs. Anna Iarotska

Anna Iarotska is tackling one of the most pressing challenges in education today: how to equip young learners with future-ready skills through meaningful, hands-on experiences. As co-founder and CEO of Robo Wunderkind, she leads an award-winning EdTech company transforming how K–5 students engage with technology through creative robotics and AI literacy. Her mission is to ensure that all children—not just the tech-privileged—have the opportunity to understand, question, and shape the technologies that will define their future. With a background in international development and innovation from the London School of Economics, Anna has spent over a decade bridging education, emerging technology, and equity across Europe and the U.S. She led the creation of the first AI literacy curriculum specifically designed for elementary learners—translating complex concepts like machine learning and ethical AI into accessible, unplugged, and project-based activities. Anna works closely with school districts, educators, and policymakers to implement scalable, future-ready STEM and AI programs. She has partnered with over 50 U.S. school districts and is a frequent speaker at global conferences, including AACE EdMedia and SITE. Her work has been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, and District Administration.
