- This $1,297,760 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the development and testing of the NeuroVivid curriculum and materials by Terc, Inc. NeuroVivid aims to enhance neurodivergent youths' interest in STEM careers, particularly brain-computer interfaces, by highlighting their cognitive strengths through building simple EEG headsets and interacting with brain activity data in maker spaces. Over three years from April 2023 to March...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate how neurodivergent youth can stimulate community-centered learning of electronic circuits through playful arts-based practices in underserved public spaces. The $296,239 award will be used by Arizona State University (ASU) to train 12 neurodivergent youth community educators on electronic circuits and facilitate workshops on circuit bending at two community pop-up...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) grant award provides $399,979 to San Francisco State University to develop a prototype of an AI-driven platform for guiding neurodiverse teamwork in engineering courses. The project aims to advance the understanding of how to provide guidance for neurodiverse teams of learners, cultivating inclusion and engagement of neurodivergent students in engineering. The research will investigate the challenges experienced by...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (CFDA 47.076) award of $341,253 to the University of Connecticut provides funding to investigate how neurodivergent students experience undergraduate physics learning. The key products of this 2-year project include: 1) a comprehensive literature review on neurodivergent STEM learning, 2) narratives and experiences collected from interviews with neurodivergent undergraduate physics students, and 3) a new theory on neurodivergent physics performance developed through think-aloud problem-solving sessions. The findings will be disseminated through workshops and seminars to help physics educators better serve neurodivergent learners. This project aims to generate insights that can make physics classrooms more inclusive for neurodivergent students. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
