The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $999,800 Cooperative Agreement under its Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to Smart Girls HQ LLC, a woman-owned small business, to develop a digital platform that engages elementary-aged girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) through personalized informal learning. The key objectives of this two-year project from October 2023 to September 2025 are to: 1) refine an algorithmic model to generate STEM learning recommendations that increase interest and prompt further learning and career awareness, 2) expand the data set and enhance the data model, and 3) implement an engaging user interface. This effort aims to increase the representation of women in STEM employment and maintain U.S. competitiveness in the global innovation community. Additionally, Smart Girls HQ LLC holds a sub-grant award from Florida State University to design, develop, and maintain an innovative online learning platform over three years.
