Sol María Petroni

Civic Tech Institute

2026

Argentina

Sol (like “Sun” in Spanish) is from Rosario, Argentina, and is currently based in São Paulo, Brazil. She has been engaged in social causes since the age of 16, with a long-standing commitment to education and community building, as well as initiatives related to climate change and gender equality.

She currently works as a Community Leader at Teachy, an AI-powered learning platform that supports millions of teachers worldwide. Her work focuses on building and nurturing educator communities, creating spaces for collaboration, peer learning, and knowledge sharing, and ensuring that teachers feel supported as they adopt new technologies in their daily practice.

Sol is particularly interested in exploring how artificial intelligence can enable more personalized learning paths and democratize access to the best educational methodologies, regardless of geography or resources. She believes that when AI is combined with strong, engaged communities, it can empower educators to learn from one another, adapt practices to local contexts, and scale collective impact in education.

In her free time, she practices pole dance and acroyoga, enjoys visiting museums, and explores São Paulo’s coffee shops, often as places to connect, reflect, and exchange ideas.
