Abstract
This finders foundry award supports the expansion of meaningful AI literacy learning for K?12 students by creating a community?driven, educator?led innovation model. Many schools struggle to adopt AI learning tools due to limited resources, unclear guidance, and uneven access. This project will bring together an interdisciplinary team to design a model for ethical, age-appropriate AI-learning that is easy to scale and grounded in everyday school realities. By centering community voices, this work seeks to strengthen future workforce readiness and provide schools nationwide with an adaptable plan for responsible AI instruction. This finders foundry award advances AI literacy for K?12 learners through educator?led and community?CO?designed innovation. An interdisciplinary leadership team will collaboratively develop ecosystem structures, participatory?design processes, and minimum?viable?prototype directions that support interdisciplinary AI?literacy learning. The project is guided by core questions regarding barriers to adoption and the ecosystem conditions required for scalable implementation. Intellectual merit centers on establishing AI literacy as a foundational, cross?disciplinary competency integrated into authentic learning pathways, ethical reasoning, workforce preparation, and community engagement. Broader impacts include building a replicable framework for community?informed AI?literacy innovation, strengthening local capacity for instructional adoption, and supporting future workforce development. The project aims to produce an MVP that is usable, valued by stakeholders, and positioned for replication. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.- subawards are not planned for this award.
