The research goals are to provide empirical evidence of middle school students building data visualization practices through learning technologies and to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $164,944 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the Long Island Children's Museum in Garden City, New York. The grant will fund a partnership development and planning project between the museum and the Westbury School District. The project aims to expand the long-standing STEM learning partnership to include local families and shift the focus from institution-driven to family-driven STEM experiences. The project will employ...
- This $400,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to advance engineering design education through the integration of artistic practice, specifically in the context of additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing. The project, led by Penn State University, seeks to establish new paradigms for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education to improve learning outcomes for engineering students in design for...
- This $1,100,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the National Academy of Sciences. The award will fund a new consensus study titled "Enhancing the Reach and Contributions of Informal STEM Learning" to be completed by February 29, 2028. The study aims to update a previous 2009 report and codify current knowledge on supporting learning across informal STEM environments. The goal is to inform effective decision-making...
- This two-year, $299,722 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund the New York Hall of Science to deliver exploratory research and co-design efforts with caregivers in Corona, Queens. Working with the New York City Department of Education, the awardee will conduct interviews and intersectional research to understand caregiver engagement in STEM learning from multiple cultural perspectives. They will then engage in collaborative...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,389,237 to The Regents of the University of Colorado to investigate how informal STEM educators in settings like museums, libraries, and community organizations negotiate, redesign, and repair organizational and community infrastructures to support innovations in learning with computing. The research focuses on understanding the supports that informal STEM and computing...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will examine co-design as a mechanism for transforming foundational research into usable K-12 STEM education interventions, and scaling and sustaining those interventions within diverse school systems. The $444,671 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will study a sample of 100 NSF-funded projects that engaged in co-design to develop STEM innovations. The project aims to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $149,952 to the Childrens Museum Foundation Corp (Kidzeum Of Health And Science) to co-design a participatory STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) center at a Midwest children's museum. The project aims to develop a scalable and adaptable model for community-based, co-design of the future STEAM center, ensuring it fosters skills, knowledge, and interests aligned with projected economic growth areas. The partnership will engage rural and urban schools, nonprofits, and local STEM professionals to directly contribute to the design of the center's exhibits and activities, with the goal of cultivating a well-equipped future STEM workforce. Research will support the development of a new model for engaging small, rural communities in a connected learning ecosystem. The project will be completed by February 28, 2027.
