The National Science Foundation awarded Hensun Innovation LLC a $1.25 million Cooperative Agreement on August 1, 2026, under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop and validate specialized artificial intelligence models that support K-12 STEM instruction through the Colleague AI platform. The project builds domain-specific AI agents designed to scaffold whole-class discussion, deliver individualized tutoring, support formative assessment and feedback, and leverage student learning data to personalize instruction at scale. The work integrates pedagogical knowledge and learning sciences principles into the platform architecture to address persistent K-12 education challenges including teacher capacity constraints, uneven access to personalized instruction, and limited student opportunities to develop AI literacy. Hensun will design and validate AI models while disseminating research findings through peer-reviewed publications and developing openly accessible training materials for educators. Hensun Innovation LLC, a woman-owned and Asian-Pacific American-owned small business based in Spokane, Washington, is the recipient. The award runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2028, with performance occurring in Spokane, WA. The project advances scientific and practical understanding of how artificial intelligence integrates into classroom settings in pedagogically sound, scalable ways aligned with human-centered teaching practices, contributing to workforce preparation in responsible AI use and STEM education broadly.
