This $400,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under CFDA Program 47.041 "Engineering" will support a 3-year program led by Northeastern University to transform high school STEM education by equipping teachers with the knowledge and skills to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into their classrooms. The project aims to address the growing demand for AI literacy in education and prepare students, particularly those underrepresented in STEM, for an AI-driven future. Key activities include a comprehensive professional development program with a one-week summer session, monthly collaborative meetings, and the development and implementation of AI-informed lesson plans in high school STEM courses. This initiative is expected to cultivate AI competency among educators, create a scalable PD model, and disseminate AI teaching resources nationwide to enhance classroom instruction and promote equity in STEM education.
