Project Grant 2336745

This $720,166 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to enhance learning and promote understanding of engineering concepts through the innovative use of digital twin technology. Led by the University of Washington, the 36-month "Remote Experimentation and Digital Twinning for Accessible and Innovative Learning (REDTAIL)" project will develop a simulation repository and open-source toolkit to enable remote experimentation and 3D simulation integration into engineering curricula. The project brings together a diverse team including Navajo Technical University, LabsLand, and German universities to make immersive learning globally accessible through the LabsLand network of remote laboratories. The grant will fund research on integrating remote experimentation, combining it with 3D simulations, and evaluating the educational impact of these technologies and pedagogies.
