This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings supports the development of a network of "tutor observatories" to capture and analyze data on teacher-student interactions in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. The project, titled "Capturing and Leveraging Data from Teacher-Student Interactions to Improve STEM Learning: An Incubator Project," aims to create a dataset of one million moments of teacher-student interactions that can be used to better understand effective STEM teaching practices and inform the development of AI-powered tools to support teachers and student learning.

The $500,000 award, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025, will be used to convene working groups to develop prototypes for the tutor observatories, guidelines for protecting teacher and student privacy, and community engagement strategies. The project is a partnership between the NSF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Schmidt Futures, and the Walton Family Foundation, and is funded through the NSF's Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program, which supports research and development to enhance STEM learning and teaching.
