Web Adventures Interactive: Innovative Online Activities as Effective Tools for Broadening Participation in Science
This project will accomplish the exploratory groundwork needed to create Web Adventures Interactive (WAI), a set of interactive educational game websites, to study the effectiveness of the interactive features on science learning, motivation, and interest in science careers. This project is funded
Developing AI Literacy Interventions to Teach Fundamental Concepts in AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a foundational technology that impacts on every sector of the economy and every corner of society. AI?s rapid expansion across fields and industries and its dramatic impact on the economy and national security necessitate developing a workforce
Making the Transition to Remote Science Teaching and Learning
Across the nation, teachers have shifted to delivering instruction remotely due to COVID-19. This transition to remote instruction has presented challenges for secondary science teachers who previously engaged their students in hands-on learning through empirical tests and observations of real-world
STEM PUSH (Pathways for Underrepresented Students to Higher Education) Network
Diversity in the STEM workforce is essential for expanding the talent pool and bringing new ideas to bear in solving societal problems, yet entrenched gaps remain. In STEM higher education, students from certain racial and ethnic groups continue to be underrepresented in STEM majors and fields
STEM Opportunities in Prison Settings (STEM-OPS)
Potential STEM talent is lost each day for some of the most underserved and underrepresented populations in our nation's incarcerated men, women, and youth. With years devoid of quality STEM education and opportunities while in prison, incarcerated individuals are often significantly underprepared
