- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded $231,152 to the Institute For Advancing Computing Education on October 1, 2025, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop curricular materials supporting artificial intelligence pair programming (AIPP) in high school computer science courses. The project creates curriculum-agnostic instructional materials that overlay existing high school CS curricula to guide students in...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Carnegie Mellon University $450,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop and evaluate community-centered civic artificial intelligence systems that help residents, community organizations, and local governments understand public problems and connect to actionable community knowledge. The project runs through September 30, 2029,...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $750,000 on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and study an AI-assisted professional development program supporting high school science teachers to design and deliver learning experiences that emphasize epistemic practices in science instruction. The project operates through two components: training and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Carnegie Mellon University $999,502 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program to develop and deploy the Apple Tea Project, a simulation-based cybersecurity curriculum designed for community college students. The project expands Cyber Simlab, a previously NSF-funded simulation environment that provides realistic practice in technical and interpersonal security skills within a simulated corporate information...
The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded Carnegie Mellon University $749,261 on September 1, 2026, to adapt a college-level artificial intelligence literacy curriculum for high school classrooms through a district-wide research-practice partnership in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The project will translate Carnegie Mellon's existing AI literacy curriculum for public high schools across Beaver County's fourteen school districts, cyber and charter schools, and a career and technical education center. A partnership among Carnegie Mellon University, the Beaver Valley Intermediate Unit, and participating schools will train and support sixteen teachers across science, social studies, and career and technical education, directly reaching approximately eight hundred students, many in rural communities and vocationally oriented programs. The work will investigate curriculum retargeting—the systematic adaptation of postsecondary curricula for secondary contexts—as a design problem, producing practical guidance to help schools nationwide adapt fast-moving college-level subjects for their own classrooms. Work will be performed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through February 28, 2029. This award operates under STEM Education (CFDA 47.076), which supports the development of the Nation's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education enterprise. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
