This $400,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports Purdue University in developing an interactive virtual environment for artificial intelligence education. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the two-year project aims to create a real-time visualization tool to promote conceptual and procedural understanding of AI among 250 learners. Either immersive using VR headsets or on conventional displays, the tool will focus on foundational AI topics. Iterative...
This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both...
This Project Grant award of $200,000 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (47.076) program aims to promote AI readiness and democratize AI technologies for a broad spectrum of advanced cyberinfrastructure users and researchers. The key products and services provided under this 4-year award, which began on September 1, 2023, include: Developing a comprehensive suite of experiential learning modules, including flexible micro-modules and immersive extended reality experiences, to...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports a collaborative research project titled "IUSE: EDU: THE AI VOYAGE: INTEGRATING AI LITERACY INTO COMPUTER SCIENCE CURRICULA WITH ACCESSIBLE HANDS-ON LEARNING ACTIVITIES." The project aims to develop a series of accessible, hands-on learning activities featuring artificial intelligence (AI) to be integrated into existing computer science (CS) courses....
This $414,995 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop personalized artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can tailor their responses to individual users based on their unique backgrounds and needs. Key objectives include: Gathering a diverse dataset to characterize the types of responses preferred by different people, particularly underrepresented groups. Using this data to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $804,974 to New Mexico State University to develop learning trajectories and educational resources that support middle and high school students' understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) concepts. The key products and services to be delivered include: Designing and pilot testing learning activities and assessments based on the developed learning trajectories (LTs) for AI concepts...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to develop an innovative "VirtualAI-Story" tool that integrates virtual reality (VR) and large language models (LLMs) to provide personalized, situated learning through adaptive storytelling. The $399,995 award to the University of Florida will be used to create this VR-based learning environment focused on construction engineering education, with the goal of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,994 Project Grant through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to The Leland Stanford Junior University to explore how high school youth, particularly those from historically marginalized communities, interact with and learn about generative AI and machine learning tools. Over a one-year period, the researchers will pilot classroom and extracurricular activities, collect quantitative and qualitative data, and analyze findings to develop...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program aims to investigate a model for AI-supported mobile augmented reality (AR) to create culturally relevant educational science simulations for 9th grade biology students. The $597,395 award to Stanford University will fund the development of a suite of interactive AR "laboratories" that allow students to manipulate content via voice commands. The...
