Miriam Haart (born 2000) is an American technologist, educator, activist, and media personality. Haart is a former lecturer in computer science at Stanford University,^[2] where she earned her degree. Haart has spoken publicly on topics including on ideology, free thinking, and digital culture and was featured in Time Out for her social advocacy and educational work.^[3] She is best known for starring in the Netflix docuseries My Unorthodox Life, which documents her family's departure from an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.

Miriam Tova Haart was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2000. At age five, her family moved to Monsey, New York, home to one of the largest Hasidic communities in the United States.^[4] Her parents were followers of the Heimishe yeshivishe sect of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Haart had minimal access to secular education or gender equality until her mother, Julia Haart, left the religious community when Miriam was 13.^[5]

At 16, Haart completed high school early and enrolled in Make School, a project-based computer science program in San Francisco.^[6] After two gap years working as an engineer in Silicon Valley, she began her undergraduate studies at Stanford University, where she later became the youngest lecturer in the Computer Science Department at age 19, teaching virtual reality development^[2].

Haart has contributed to various publications as a writer and commentator on topics including extremism, Middle Eastern politics, antisemitism in America, and technology^[7].^[8] Her work has appeared in outlets such as Rebel Girls, where she published "Changing One Word Can Change Everything" in 2023.^[7]

Haart is known for her outspoken advocacy for women's rights, antisemitism, and ideological freedom.^[9] Drawing from her own experiences growing up in a restrictive religious environment, she has become a leading voice on the psychological mechanisms of control used in both religious and secular settings.

In her 2025 TED Talk, "The SITT Test: Are You Really Thinking Freely?",^[10] Haart introduces a framework she developed to identify ideological environments. The SITT model stands for Social Pressure, Insularity, Two-Dimensional Thought. Through personal anecdotes and cultural critique, she argues that ideological control is not limited to religious systems—it can be present in mainstream academic and social settings as well^[10].

Haart began programming and developing iOS apps at age 13^[6]. In 2017, she interned at UCSF's Neuroscape lab and at AI company Yewno in Silicon Valley^[2]. In 2018, she developed a breast health app that was named a finalist at the Global Startup Weekend Competition in Paris^[11]

Haart co-stars in My Unorthodox Life, a Netflix award-nominated reality series that premiered in 2021.^[12][13] The show follows her family's departure from ultra-Orthodox Judaism and has ranked among Netflix's top 10 programs globally.

Haart served as a lecturer in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, teaching virtual reality development. She is noted as the youngest lecturer to have taught at Stanford at the age of 19.^[2]

Haart has been recognized as a thought leader by organizations such as the Tel Aviv Institute.,^[14] Z-Fellows^[10], and iCenter, and was featured in Time Out magazine for her social advocacy and educational work^[3]
