This Project Grant award of $649,983 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to create a program that will increase the pool of work-ready students qualified for employment as AI technicians. The project, led by Broward College, will develop new career pathways and utilize problem-based learning experiences to stimulate engagement and interest in AI careers. The program will feature a summer bridge, high school after-school program, industry engagement, faculty professional development, and evidence-based practices to enhance enrollment and retention, with a focus on increasing participation from low-income and non-traditional students. The project will test the hypothesis that early exposure to AI through problem-based learning positively impacts enrollment and credential attainment, and will contribute to the knowledge base of case study teaching methods in enhancing AI learning objectives. The evaluation plan will identify the impact of the program on the target audience and provide feedback to adjust the program as needed.
