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 a model for how students and teachers understand and communicate with these AI technologies. Key outcomes include a curriculum for teaching ethical and meaningful use of generative AI, as well as informing future scalable interventions in AI education. The University of Wisconsin - Madison is a sub-awardee, responsible for leading the pilot design, tool development, and quantitative analysis.
