This Project Grant award, valued at $500,000 and issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to prepare and retain highly qualified middle and high school STEM teachers in high-need areas of Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia. The project, titled "Collaborative Research: RESS in Microelectronics and Artificial Intelligence to Empower STEM Teachers," will provide 24 prospective and practicing teachers with authentic research experiences in microelectronics and AI over three years. Teachers will participate in a six-week summer research experience and receive support for developing project-based learning curricula to integrate these STEM disciplines into their classrooms. The project also includes academic year follow-up activities, such as professional development, classroom visits, industry talks, and conference presentations, to further enhance the teachers' knowledge and skills. The project is a collaboration between the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and local school districts, with the goal of contributing to a domestic semiconductor and AI workforce pipeline.
