This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076), will support research to investigate how K-12 teachers perceive artificial intelligence (AI) in education and its impacts on the workforce. The University of Michigan will develop and refine a survey to be distributed to approximately 1,000 K-12 teachers nationally. The $199,557 grant, awarded on September 1, 2023 with a completion date...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program provides $200,000 to support a time-sensitive project that aims to empower teachers to harness the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to create interactive, personalized STEM learning resources. The project team, led by the Regents of the University of Michigan, will partner with WGBH Educational Foundation to develop a teacher-AI...
This federal Project Grant award of $812,312, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to develop learning trajectories and educational resources to support middle and high school students' understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) concepts. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Designing and pilot testing learning activities and assessments targeting challenging AI concepts based on the developed learning...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $1,662,312, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The goal of the project is to enhance elementary school teachers' content and pedagogical content knowledge of numbers and operations using an AI-based interactive professional development program. The program aims to create a personalized, active learning environment for teachers to improve their understanding of foundational math...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) award provides $400,000 over 3 years to Northeastern University to develop and implement a professional development program for high school STEM teachers focused on incorporating generative AI into their classroom instruction. The program will recruit 10 teachers per year, prioritizing those serving underrepresented students, and provide intensive summer training supplemented by monthly collaborative meetings and ongoing content...
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 $385,921 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development and research of an AI Across the Curriculum program at North Carolina State University. The interdisciplinary team will create introductory and advanced modules integrating artificial intelligence concepts into existing high school mathematics, English language arts, and history curricula. They will also develop a 60-hour professional development program to train...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) provides $200,000 to Miami University to craft a series of accessible, hands-on learning activities featuring artificial intelligence (AI) that can be integrated into existing computer science (CS) courses. The project aims to demystify AI for undergraduates by presenting algorithms and models in a more engaging and accessible manner, with the goal of promoting deeper understanding, stimulating student...
This three-year, $516,058 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the development of artificial intelligence (AI) curriculum modules integrated across high school core subjects and a professional development program for teachers. Led by the Concord Consortium, the project team which includes Carnegie Mellon University and North Carolina State University, will create a two-hour introductory AI module and three five-hour...
