- This $177,306 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support "RESPONSIBLE, ETHICAL, AND EFFECTIVE ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES FOR THE INTEGRATION OF GENERATIVE AI IN US SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND BEYOND". The project will convene a Generative AI (GenAI) Working Group comprised of diverse school and district leaders to: Write, adapt, and share sample GenAI Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) for a range of district contexts. Work with their...
- 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 is a $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "The AI Voyage: Integrating AI Literacy into Computer Science Curricula with Accessible Hands-On Learning Activities" at Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. The project aims to develop a series of accessible, hands-on learning activities featuring artificial intelligence (AI) to be...
- This $349,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate how to design and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to support equitable K-12 science education. The project plans to explore the use of multimodal AI to provide automated feedback for formative science assessments, with the goal of generating design principles to develop...
- This $1,192,951 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a 3-year program to provide 15 high school teachers and 60 high school students, primarily from underrepresented and rural communities in Mississippi, with innovative learning experiences in machine learning and computer vision. The project aims to develop the AI/ML competencies of these students and prepare them for potential careers in artificial intelligence and...
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BLACK GIRLS AS CREATORS: AN INTERSECTIONAL LEARNING ECOSYSTEM TOWARD GENDERED RACIAL EQUITY IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EDUCATION -THIS PROJECT WILL WORK WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) CREATORS AND BLACK GIRLS, AGED 9-14, TO EXPAND THE RANGE OF PERSPECTIVES AND VOICES THAT ARE A PART OF AI TECHNOLOGY. THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE AFTER SCHOOL AND SUMMER CAMPS FOR BOTH BLACK GIRLS AND THE AI CREATORS TO WORK TOGETHER ON THE DESIGN AND CREATION OF AI PROJECTS. THIS PROJECT EXAMINES TWO RESEARCH QUESTIONS. ONE IS THEORETICAL: WHAT ARE DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR AN INTERSECTIONAL AI LEARNING ECOSYSTEM? WITH THIS QUESTION THE PIS EXPLORE BLACK GIRLS' EXPERIENCES WITH AI LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS, AND HOW THEY CAN ENACT THE CONSTRUCTS OF INTERSECTIONALITY (CRITICAL REFLECTION, ACTION, ACCOUNTABILITY). FINDINGS RELATED TO QUESTION 1 WILL HELP THEM DEVELOP A FRAMEWORK FOR INTERSECTIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR AI PROFESSIONALS THAT IS SPECIFIC TO HOW RACIAL EQUITY CAN BE REALIZED IN AI LEARNING; AND, HELP THEM CREATE NEW CURRICULA THAT INTEGRATES AI; AND, DEVELOP A FRAMEWORK FOR HOW TO INTEGRATE PD, WITH CURRICULA AND TECHNOLOGIES IN AI SPACES IN ORDER TO CREATE A MORE COHESIVE LEARNING ECOSYSTEM. RESEARCH QUESTION 2 FOCUSES ON IMPLEMENTATION: WHAT ARE PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO INTEGRATE CURRICULA AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INTO AN INTERSECTIONAL AI LEARNING ECOSYSTEM? THE FINDINGS FROM THIS QUESTION WILL FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES FOR AI EDUCATORS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THE FINDINGS FROM THIS PROJECT WILL BE OF INTEREST TO TECHNOLOGY EDUCATORS, AI PROFESSIONALS, THE BROADER STEM EDUCATION FIELD, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE STEM EDUCATION. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED THROUGH THE RACIAL EQUITY IN STEM EDUCATION ACTIVITY (EDU RACIAL EQUITY). THE ACTIVITY SUPPORTS RESEARCH AND PRACTICE PROJECTS THAT INVESTIGATE HOW CONSIDERATIONS OF RACIAL EQUITY FACTOR INTO THE IMPROVEMENT OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE. AWARDED PROJECTS SEEK TO CENTER THE VOICES, KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPERIENCES OF THE INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, AND INSTITUTIONS MOST IMPACTED BY SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES WITHIN THE STEM ENTERPRISE. THIS ACTIVITY ALIGNS WITH NSF'S CORE VALUE OF SUPPORTING OUTSTANDING RESEARCHERS AND INNOVATIVE THINKERS FROM ACROSS THE NATION'S DIVERSITY OF DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS, REGIONS, AND TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS. PROGRAMS ACROSS EDU CONTRIBUTE FUNDS TO THE RACIAL EQUITY ACTIVITY IN RECOGNITION OF THE ALIGNMENT OF ITS PROJECTS WITH THE COLLECTIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT THRUSTS OF THE FOUR DIVISIONS OF THE DIRECTORATE. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
