ImageSTEAM is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program designed to help introduce AI and computer vision concepts to middle school students through the development of innovative learning activities in visual media. Our focus is on encouraging students to pursue careers and interests in STEM and empowering teachers to train the next generation of students for the upcoming AI technologies that will feature prominently in the 21st century.

The program is for both students and teachers. Teachers who participate in our program are paid and are provided training in these areas, help co-create curriculum, and conduct classes in summer workshops with students. Students participate in research workshops and learn tools and concepts in visual media and AI. This project is in collaboration between researchers at Arizona State University and the University of Georgia.
