Project Grant 2506891
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) learning environment integrated with a large language model (LLM)-powered pedagogical agent to guide middle school students' science modeling practice. The $568,584 project, awarded to the University of Nevada, Reno, has three core objectives: 1) building AR simulations for modeling tasks, 2) developing an on-device multitask LLM to assess student-created...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development of a virtual classroom platform that uses large language model (LLM) simulated agents to facilitate collaborative learning of mathematical modeling for middle-school students. The $321,873 project aims to increase equitable access to effective mathematics education, particularly for students from under-resourced communities, by leveraging generative AI techniques....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $597,395 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to investigate a model for AI-supported mobile augmented reality (AR) for precollege science learning. The project aims to create interactive AR "laboratories" that allow students to manipulate virtual science simulations using voice commands. The AR experiences will...
- This $350,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to prepare science teachers to engage multilingual learners in scientific argumentation through mixed-reality simulations. The key goals are to identify essential elements in teacher-student interactions that help elicit student thinking to improve scientific argumentation among secondary multilingual learners, and to explore the preliminary effects, acceptability, and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $599,649 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and test an AI assistant, the Representational Reasoning Assistant (RRA), to help middle school students interpret science diagrams, graphs, and charts. The three-year project, awarded to Indiana University, will adapt multimodal large language models to provide visual-focused, pedagogically-supportive feedback to students on interpreting scientific...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $578,047 to George Mason University to develop a virtual classroom platform that supports collaborative learning of mathematical modeling for middle-school students. The project aims to increase opportunities for students from under-resourced communities to receive effective mathematics education, supporting more equitable learning. Key features of the platform include...
- This $299,990 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the development, implementation, and testing of a new AI assistant called the Representational Reasoning Assistant (RRA). The goal is to help middle school students interpret science diagrams, graphs, and charts in their classrooms. The RRA will leverage generative AI technologies to engage students in conversations about representations assigned by their teachers, ask...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $850,000 Project Grant to Columbia University from the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for a project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SEEING SCIENCE: USING COMPUTER VISION TO EXPLORE THE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES BEHIND EVERYDAY OBJECTS." The project aims to develop computer vision algorithms and mobile phone applications to allow middle school students to observe and explore scientific phenomena in their everyday environments. Students will...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $399,894 will fund the development of an augmented reality tool to support STEM learning for students with executive functioning difficulties. Awarded on September 1, 2022 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the grant provides funding to Terc, Inc. through August 31, 2025. Specifically, the grantee will create an open-source tool using deep learning algorithms to detect off-task behavior in undergraduate...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $142,000.00 and awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will fund the development of a simulated classroom environment that allows elementary school teachers to practice facilitation skills using AI-driven student avatars. The goal is to create an automated professional development system that provides teachers with low-cost, low-stakes opportunities to improve their ability to facilitate classroom...
This $241,414 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) learning environment integrated with a large language model (LLM)-powered pedagogical agent to guide middle school students' modeling practice in science. The key objectives are to: 1) build AR simulations for modeling tasks, 2) develop an on-device LLM to assess diagrammatic models, and 3) investigate student modeling practice within the AR-LLM learning environment. This 3-year project will directly impact approximately 10 middle school teachers and 400 middle school students, providing them with an innovative platform to improve their science modeling skills. The grant brings together an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, human-computer interaction researchers, science education experts, and K-12 teachers to co-design the learning environment.
