Haart is majoring in Computer Science as well as teaching Virtual Reality in the Computer Science department at Stanford.

Early life

Miriam Haart was born in Atlanta in 2000. At age 5, Haart and her family moved to the largest insular Hasidic Judaism community in Monsey, New York. Haart’s parents were strict followers of the Heimishe Yeshivish sect of Ultra-Orthodox Judaism. At age 13, Hart's mother, Julia Haart left the community and started a shoe company, taking Haart with her. In 2016, Haart finished high school two years early to join Make School, a project-based computer science college in San Francisco to pursue her passion for engineering. After taking two gap years working in Silicon Valley as an engineer, Haart joined Stanford University as an undergraduate.

Apps and career

Haart was thirteen years old when she engineered her first iOS app, Ateres.[5]. In 2016, at the Make School School Summer Academy in San Francisco, Haart developed Gimme Dough [6] and Recyclable[2], winning Haart the Best iOS App Award issued by Make School. Later that year Haart developed two more apps, Blaze, an app that helps bikers find the least elevated routes in major cities[7], and Brows, an app that finds beauty products that match the user's skin tone using image recognition technology[8]. In 2017, Haart interned at UCSF's Neuroscape as a data scientist then worked at Yewno, an AI company in Redwood City, as a product engineer. During that time, along with a Denver based all-female team, she developed Norma, an app that helps women maintain breast health and prevent breast cancer, awarding her a finalist at the Global Startup weekend Competition in Paris [9]. Haart joined Esther Wojcicki in 2018 to work on various projects for the non-profit Moonshots in Education[10], building websites and apps for them[11][12]. Haart interned at the Artificial Intelligence lab to do 3D modeling for virtual reality applications using haptic robotic technologies. In 2019, Haart developed Cardinal Connect, an app for students at Stanford University to connect based on passions and majors[13]. In 2020, Haart is the co-founder and chief product officer of Eazitt, a cross-platform consumer-good delivery service in South Africa[4]
