This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $1,025,369 to Aalmv Inc. to develop an AI-driven robotics simulation platform for high school physics education. The broader impact is to improve student performance on the AP Physics exam and address the projected shortage of 186,000 engineers by 2031. The project aims to create an adaptive, AI-assisted platform that enables students to translate physics concepts into Python programming through integrating machine learning algorithms with interactive drone and robotic systems. This approach reinforces basic physics principles in real-world, mission-critical scenarios. The research objectives include completing the adaptive platform and demonstrating measurable improvements in student proficiency in physics and programming. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which has a performance period from July 15, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
