Through this...
- This $348,706 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and implement a curricular program for middle-school students in community-based settings. The program will focus on building data visualization skills to help students become critical consumers and interpreters of data. The research goals are to provide empirical evidence of middle school students building data visualization practices through learning technologies and to...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,302,522 to Oregon State University to investigate how secondary science teachers can better contextualize their instruction. The project explores using immersive field science experiences and digital resources to help teachers make science more engaging and meaningful for students. Key products will include new curriculum materials, professional learning models, and a...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $320,915 to Vanderbilt University from August 2024 to July 2028. The project aims to support middle school teachers in customizing an integrated science, engineering, and computational thinking curriculum unit called the Water Resource Challenge (WRC). Through a participatory design approach, the project will investigate the supports teachers need to adapt STEM+CS (science,...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $1,089,117.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Georgetown University. The project aims to (1) foster data science competency through hands-on research and (2) equip educators with the knowledge and tools to incorporate data science concepts into their classrooms. The project will bring together undergraduate students and high-school teachers, who will work in mixed-group teams. The project will be run...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to develop a suite of tools that elementary teachers can use to customize existing open-source, standards-aligned science curricula. The $749,227 project, awarded on September 15, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2029, will enable researchers and elementary teachers to co-design these customization tools to support students' use of their full communicative repertoires, such as oral/written language, visual/numerical representations, and physical models, in scientific sensemaking. The resulting professional learning modules and customization tools will be disseminated nationally to support elementary students' science learning.
