Project Grant 2333469
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,994 Project Grant through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to The Leland Stanford Junior University to explore how high school youth, particularly those from historically marginalized communities, interact with and learn about generative AI and machine learning tools. Over a one-year period, the researchers will pilot classroom and extracurricular activities, collect quantitative and qualitative data, and analyze findings to develop...
- The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania received a $392,992 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will support research and education activities aimed at developing machine learning techniques that break through the fairness-accuracy tradeoff paradigm. Specifically, the university researchers will draw on ideas from learning theory and...
- 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 $1,156,140.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Pittsburgh. The project focuses on developing learner-co-created social robots to support middle school girls from historically underrepresented backgrounds in developing AI and computing skills. The project will carry out three design-based research iterations with a total of 140 girls in collaboration with two community...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) provides $156,000 to Northwestern University to rapidly develop and research a set of "unplugged" hands-on learning activities for teaching middle-school students about artificial intelligence (AI). The project aims to create an open-source repository of up to 15 hands-on, low-cost AI literacy activities that can be led by educators...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $499,918 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to broaden the use of learning analytics in STEM education research. The project will develop a modular, adaptable curriculum composed of 25-30 instructional modules on cutting-edge data science and artificial intelligence techniques. Over 3 years, the project will train two cohorts of 50 STEM education researchers to use...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $185,496 to the University of North Texas to engage approximately 500 high school students and 25 teachers from under-resourced communities in the design and application of AI-enabled microelectronics technologies. The goal is to develop a high school curriculum that integrates computer science and engineering using microelectronics and AI as the context, in order to prepare students...
- This $625,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will fund research into end-to-end fairness for algorithm-in-the-loop decision making in the public sector. New York University will lead the development of novel methods for identifying and correcting biases in massive, multivariate data used for algorithmic decision making. This will include building models to represent human decision making processes, auditing tools to...
- This $300,841 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support Carnegie Mellon University to develop and research an artificial intelligence (AI) across the curriculum program for high school students. Over three years, the university team will create introductory and advanced AI modules for mathematics, English language arts, and history. They will also design $60k in professional development for 12 teachers to implement the modules across...
- This $111,984 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a collaborative research project focused on mapping the state of AI ethics education across diverse higher education institutions in the United States. The project aims to: (a) comprehensively survey current and planned AI ethics education interventions, (b) develop a framework to understand how faculty perceive and conceptualize AI ethics...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $200,000 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to engage high school youth in Philadelphia in learning about algorithmic justice through audits of machine learning applications. The one-year study involves high school students designing everyday machine learning apps and collaboratively conducting algorithm audits to understand issues of fairness, accountability, and justice. The research aims to gain insights into youth experiences with and understandings of machine learning, the feasibility of algorithm audits by youth, and their application of auditing approaches to applications encountered in daily life. This work responds to national calls for supporting youth in developing artificial intelligence literacy and competencies to interact with and critically evaluate these technologies.
