Vanderbilt University was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will fund research to co-design a cognitive teaching assistant to support evidence-based instruction in open-ended learning environments. Specifically, Vanderbilt University will partner with five middle school science teachers and 200 students in Metro Nashville Public Schools to develop an AI-enhanced virtual teacher assistant. This technology will provide feedback to teachers and help students progress in their learning of an integrated science, computing, and engineering curriculum focused on redesigning the schoolyard. Outcomes will include established impact on student learning and guidelines for technology-enhanced teacher practices and curriculum adaptations. The 24-month period of performance is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025.
