This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with a total funding of $299,748, supports a research-practice partnership between the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and three Louisiana school systems. The project aims to address the critical issue of limited artificial intelligence (AI) literacy instruction in Louisiana's PreK-12 schools, particularly in rural communities facing resource and teacher shortages. The central research question explores how this partnership can effectively develop and implement an AI literacy curriculum across grade levels, ensuring it is relevant to students' experiences and creates pathways into computer science and AI careers. The project will coordinate existing AI literacy resources, identify gaps, and create a cohesive learning progression based on Bloom's Taxonomy. The investigators will use a mixed-methods approach, including a contextual analysis and collaborative workshops with researchers and teachers, to design, implement, iteratively refine, and disseminate the framework and professional development materials.
