- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded Texas A&M University $952,970 on August 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to design, implement, and study an AI-guided agriculture STEM learning model for rural middle school classrooms in two rural Texas districts. The five-year project, running through July 31, 2031, will develop and iteratively refine a 16-lesson AG-STEM curriculum engaging approximately 200–250...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Education Development Center, Inc. $747,663 on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to design, test, and scale a professional learning model for rural STEM teachers navigating artificial intelligence integration. EDC will partner with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to deliver three intensive three-week online sprints for forty rural STEM teachers, engaging them in collaborative investigation of authentic instructional challenges, experimentation with AI-enabled STEM tasks, and co-creation of frameworks for responsible AI use in STEM teaching and learning. Participating teachers will subsequently co-design and deliver online workshops to extend the project's reach to a broader audience of educators. The work targets rural districts serving approximately twenty percent of U.S. students, addressing the limited access to sustained, collaborative professional learning in these communities. The project pursues three goals: designing and testing a scalable, replicable model for rural STEM teacher professional learning in the AI era; advancing empirical understanding of human-centered AI use in STEM education; and building actionable knowledge about teacher learning in the context of rapid technological change. By preparing teachers to use AI in ways that deepen rather than replace student thinking, the initiative aims to develop a STEM workforce ready for hybrid human-machine roles and support economic growth in rural communities. Performance occurs in Waltham, Massachusetts. The award period extends from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2028.
