This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $1,300,000 to the University of Virginia to develop low-cost, adaptable physical computing tools such as robots to provide equitable opportunities for elementary and middle school students to learn computer science (CS) skills and concepts. The project aims to investigate how these educational robots can help students develop CS understanding and executive functioning skills, while...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,999 RAPID grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to develop and evaluate a generative AI-powered robot design assistant for educational robotics. The project aims to investigate the potential of a task-oriented generative AI tool to support lower-performing learners and advance educational equity in robotics. The key planned activities include the development and testing of a prototype...
This $300,841 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support Carnegie Mellon University to develop and research an artificial intelligence (AI) across the curriculum program for high school students. Over three years, the university team will create introductory and advanced AI modules for mathematics, English language arts, and history. They will also design $60k in professional development for 12 teachers to implement the modules across...
This $554,667 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports the development of an integrated artificial intelligence (AI) curriculum and educational robotics program for 4th and 5th grade students in linguistically diverse classrooms in Clark County, Nevada. The three-year project aims to cultivate AI literacy and computer science (CS) skills among elementary students, particularly those from underrepresented populations....
This $354,936 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRK-12 program, CFDA 47.076) aims to engage approximately 500 high school students and 25 teachers from under-resourced communities in the design and application of AI-enabled smart, embedded technologies. The project will develop an accessible high school curriculum that integrates computer science and engineering using the contexts of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) provides $156,000 to Northwestern University to rapidly develop and research a set of "unplugged" hands-on learning activities for teaching middle-school students about artificial intelligence (AI). The project aims to create an open-source repository of up to 15 hands-on, low-cost AI literacy activities that can be led by educators...
This Project Grant award of $499,999.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development and testing of the "MYTURN" afterschool social robotics program to promote interest in computing among middle school students, particularly girls. The University of Illinois Chicago will co-design the program with women mentors from industry and undergraduate computer science programs, enabling middle school girls to work in teams to design and...
This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both...
