This federal Project Grant award, in the amount of $309,318, was provided by the National Science Foundation under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). The grant was awarded to Purdue University on September 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2028. The purpose of this grant is to develop and investigate an extended reality (XR) learning environment that integrates interactive touch technology, augmented reality, and AI-driven engagement to support undergraduate students in learning abstract STEM concepts, particularly electromagnetism. The project plans to develop and validate the XR environment through a series of intertwined technology and education research activities, grounded in principles of embodied learning design. This includes creating technology-enhanced learning experiences consisting of XR haptics and corresponding curricular materials. The grant aims to address persistent challenges in STEM education by bringing together advances in XR hardware, computer vision, and learning sciences.
