- This $349,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate how to design and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to support equitable K-12 science education. The project plans to explore the use of multimodal AI to provide automated feedback for formative science assessments, with the goal of generating design principles to develop...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $900,000 to North Carolina State University to develop innovative, AI-powered online learning environments that promote the learning-by-teaching approach. The project aims to design and empirically evaluate a novel integration of a teachable agent, reinforcement learning, and explainable AI to support students' acquisition of both procedural and conceptual knowledge...
- This $385,921 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development and research of an AI Across the Curriculum program at North Carolina State University. The interdisciplinary team will create introductory and advanced modules integrating artificial intelligence concepts into existing high school mathematics, English language arts, and history curricula. They will also develop a 60-hour professional development program to train...
- This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both...
- The National Science Foundation awarded North Carolina State University a $1,166,886 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop the AI Play program model and associated curricular materials. The grant aims to introduce 500 middle school students and more than 20 teachers in rural North Carolina communities to artificial intelligence concepts through game design activities and professional development from May 2022 to April 2025. As part of the grant, Wested will...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) award provides $400,000 over 3 years to Northeastern University to develop and implement a professional development program for high school STEM teachers focused on incorporating generative AI into their classroom instruction. The program will recruit 10 teachers per year, prioritizing those serving underrepresented students, and provide intensive summer training supplemented by monthly collaborative meetings and ongoing content...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,994 Project Grant through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to The Leland Stanford Junior University to explore how high school youth, particularly those from historically marginalized communities, interact with and learn about generative AI and machine learning tools. Over a one-year period, the researchers will pilot classroom and extracurricular activities, collect quantitative and qualitative data, and analyze findings to develop...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to create dynamic research experiences for undergraduate students in artificial intelligence (AI) with applications in computer science education. The $400,000 award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, will provide hands-on research opportunities for students to develop AI-based educational resources for computer science education settings. Participant pairs will be...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program (CFDA 47.076) will pilot a curriculum to prepare pre-service teachers in understanding the fundamentals of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential teaching applications. The $199,996 award to Michigan State University will examine the impact of this curriculum on developing pre-service teachers' competencies, including their...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to North Carolina State University (NC State) for the "BEGINNINGS: EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FOR IN-SERVICE TEACHERS: AUGMENTING TEACHING AND LEARNING WITH GENERATIVE AI" project. This 3-year project aims to develop and deliver a 4-week experiential learning program that brings together in-service K-12 teachers, undergraduate computing majors, and industry mentors to co-design AI-integrated curricula, assessments, and implementation plans tailored to classroom contexts. Participants will use a retrieval-augmented generation chatbot called "Merryquery" to scaffold lesson planning and assessment design, with a focus on addressing the critical gap in K-12 educator preparation for integrating rapidly evolving generative AI tools into classroom practice. The project seeks to generate novel insights into how generative AI can be embedded within K-12 pedagogies to enhance instructional effectiveness and expand access to AI-focused professional development for educators in under-resourced and geographically dispersed school districts in North Carolina.
