Sofiko Bigvava
Education Systems Architect.
I design education systems that make human thinking visible in the age of AI.
I am the founder of Girls Who Change the World™, the creator of The Human Intelligence Method™, and Co-CEO of Experimentorium Science Museum, where I lead Strategy & Education.
Across my work, I build the concepts, learning experiences, rituals, language, structures, and operational systems that help educational and cultural institutions become more coherent, human, and future-ready.
My work connects museum learning, science education, girls' education, AI-supported learning design, and new ways of protecting human judgment in a world where answers are increasingly easy to generate.
For more than ten years, leading a science museum in a small country meant building many of the things a larger institution would hire a full team to build.
Each of these belonged to a different discipline. None of them came with a manual for an institution of our size, in our context, with our resources.
I learned to build them not as a designer, not as a marketer, and not only as a museum director — but as someone responsible for the whole system.
Over the last two years, AI became a working partner in that process. It did not replace the work of thinking. It expanded what one person could build, connect, test, and carry.
That is where my work comes from: real institutional responsibility, shaped by AI, but grounded in human judgment.
I believe many modern educational and cultural institutions are under-built.
Not because they lack ambition.
Not because the people inside them lack capability.
But because the tools for building them coherently, end to end, with a small team, were not truly available until very recently.
They are available now.
My work is to help institutions use them — without losing what made them worth building in the first place.
Today, my work is developing in three connected directions.
Girls Who Change the World™ is an education programme for girls aged 10–14, built around women who changed science, technology, medicine, and the planet — beginning with its Founding Cohort in Tbilisi and designed to travel through local partners.
The Human Intelligence Method™ is a thinking-first educational framework for helping learners observe, question, attempt, verify, doubt, choose, explain, and take responsibility for their conclusions.

Trust infrastructure for defended human judgment in the age of AI.
Together, these projects ask one question:
When AI can generate answers, how do we help people build the kind of human intelligence that can observe, question, interpret, and defend what it sees?
I am based in Tbilisi, Georgia, and work in English, Georgian, and Russian.
My work is international in direction, but rooted in the reality of building from places that are often overlooked — smaller markets, smaller teams, and institutions with serious missions but limited infrastructure.
That is the kind of work I understand best.
If you are leading or building such an institution,
the conversation is usually worth having.
