- This $692,931 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) aims to address the national shortage of highly qualified STEM teachers, particularly in computer science, for high-need schools. Over the 5-year project period starting October 1, 2024, the University of Rochester will recruit and prepare 21 prospective STEM teachers, including in computer science, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. These teachers will be trained to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $1,300,000 to the University of Virginia to develop low-cost, adaptable physical computing tools such as robots to provide equitable opportunities for elementary and middle school students to learn computer science (CS) skills and concepts. The project aims to investigate how these educational robots can help students develop CS understanding and executive functioning skills, while...
- This $150,838 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop a student-centered, personalized learning framework to advance undergraduate robotics education. The project's central goals are to: 1) study the impacts of low-cost simulation and affordable hardware on robotics education, and 2) compare a student-centered, personalized learning approach to traditional teacher-centered pedagogy. The project will be implemented through a...
- This $136,123 National Science Foundation project grant aims to improve student learning outcomes in computer science theory courses through the use of conceptual models. Funded under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the grant supports research at Rochester Institute of Technology to study the impact of teaching students how to create their own conceptual models of theoretical computing concepts. The project team will analyze qualitative and quantitative data from student...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will provide $189,990 to the University of Rochester to rapidly understand and support K-12 school leaders' decision-making related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their schools.

The...
The University of Rochester received a $732,923 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076) to develop embodied learning technologies for K-12 machine learning education. The five-year project beginning July 2023 aims to provide hands-on, collaborative learning experiences using 3D and tangible interaction technologies to help students understand abstract machine learning concepts. A pedagogical agent will use curiosity-eliciting prompts to accelerate knowledge discovery. The university will evaluate the learning experiences for impact on knowledge acquisition, self-efficacy and interest in machine learning among elementary and middle school students. Findings are expected to advance understanding of embodied learning for complex STEM topics and inform future technology design to make machine learning education highly accessible.
