The National Science Foundation awarded a $499,055 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education (STEM Education) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076). The two-year award will support the development of a mid-scale research infrastructure incubator to leverage data from digital educational games to improve STEM learning.

Specifically, the University of Wisconsin-Madison will convene asynchronous discussions, in-person workshops, and report writing groups to plan an infrastructure for systematically collecting, storing, and processing game data. This will enable researchers to study STEM learning in digital contexts and design interventions for different audiences and goals. Planning will focus on six research areas, including using games to develop learning science, understanding game-supported STEM learning, and evaluating digital assessments. The infrastructure is intended to allow for new forms of STEM educational research using digital games and provide mechanisms for new researchers to participate. A subaward of $49,955 to the University of California, Santa Cruz, will support Dr. Seif El-Nasr's collaborative work on developing the infrastructure vision and coordination.
