About
Nehama Libman is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of early childhood education, technology, and cultural identity. Her work explores how young children can use robotics and digital tools not just for STEM learning, but as a medium for exploring and strengthening their cultural and religious heritage. In her most cited study, “*Livnot U'Lehibanot*, To Build and To Be Built: Making Robots in Kindergarten to Explore Jewish Identity” (2013), Libman demonstrated how kindergarteners in a Jewish community could engage with robotics to actively construct their own understanding of Jewish values and identity. This innovative approach reframes technology as a bridge between abstract cultural concepts and tangible, hands-on learning. While her citation count of 5 reflects a focused, niche impact, her work is deeply influential within the fields of Jewish education and constructionist learning. By showing that even young children can “build and be built” through meaningful technological engagement, Libman has provided a powerful model for diaspora communities seeking to foster positive affiliation and cultural continuity in the digital age.
