Engaging Blind, Visually Impaired, and Sighted Students in STEM with Storytelling through Podcasts
This project will broaden participation in STEM for blind and visually impaired (BVI) and sighted upper elementary students through engagement with podcast technology. BVI individuals are significantly underrepresented in the STEM workforce. Research has shown that BVI students face many obstacles
Developing neural and behavioral measures to predict long-term STEM learning outcomes from a high-school spatial learning course
Engaging Latinx Youth in Understanding the Science of Climate Change by Developing Digital Narratives and Games
The project will engage LatinX middle and high school youth in developing technology-rich, interactive digital media, games, and narratives about climate science. In creating digital stories, youth will blend real-world scenarios with their ideas and decision-making processes to solve climate
STEM Tales: Investigating the effect of media read-alouds on young children's STEM and literacy learning and interest in STEM careers
Exciting young children's interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is an essential way to attract more students to STEM course work and STEM careers. This project will use a variety of tools to engage four- to eight-year-old children and their families. First, the project
Beyond Access and Participation in CS for All: Measuring Equitable CS Learning Environments
Investigating environmental identity development among children in rural Alaska Native communities through intergenerational, culturally responsive community science programming
This project will advance efforts of the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program to better understand culturally responsive approaches supported by appropriate technologies to broaden participation of Indigenous students in STEM studies and careers. In this
YouthAstroNet: Research on the scale-up of innovative technology experiences in astronomy and science imaging
The Youth Astronomy Network (YouthAstroNet) project will support and research the scaling-up, broadening of participation, and sustainable implementation of an innovative online platform for learners ages 11-14. It features customized access to robotic telescopes, support for authentic engagement
CAREER: Engaging Rural Students with Next Generation Physiological Interfaces
Next generation physiological computing systems use sensors to measure data like brain activity or heart activity. These emerging systems are at the forefront of human-computer interaction applications involving health technologies, adaptive smart environments, self-regulation, security and
A Culturally-Relevant Computer Science Education Program to Expand Equity, Access, and Opportunity for Native American High School Students
The underrepresentation of Native Americans in STEM and computing deprives the nation of its potential for innovation and transformative solutions that can arise from a diverse STEM workforce. Studying the educational differences between Native American and non-Native American learners will increase
Partnership to Provide Technology and Cyber-security Experiences to Alabama Black Belt through Mobile Application Development
While job growth in STEM fields, specifically in information technology and cybersecurity, has been consistently on the rise, diversity in these workforce fields has not grown at a comparable pace. This Developing and Testing Innovations (DTI) project will advance efforts to better understand and
