Empowering Youth in STEM and Technological Careers through AI-Enhanced Sustainable and Community-Focused Urban Gardening
2023
-
2026
This Developing and Testing Innovations (DTI) project will engage high school youth from historically excluded groups in Massachusetts and Louisiana in transdisciplinary learning of computational science, artificial intelligence, engineering, and plant science through the installation of automated
NeuroVivid: Developing and Testing a Maker Experience to Build Interest in Careers in Brain-Computer Interfaces Among Neurodivergent Youth
2023
-
2026
Neurodivergent youth, including those with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, possess cognitive assets that underlie core mechanisms for STEM innovation. However, neurodivergent youth often do not have access to learning environments in which they can reflect on their cognitive
Equity-Centered Design of Conversational Agents for Inclusive Science Communication Education in High Schools
2023
-
2026
Science communication, defined as the ability to communicate scientific concepts and discoveries to broad audiences, is an important scientific literacy skill. It can promote public efforts to protect the biodiversity and livelihood of communities around the world. Yet, K-12 students have limited
YouthQuake: Engaging urban students in a computational geology experience to forecast earthquake hazards and manage risks for their community
2023
-
2026
This project will contribute to the Earth science education community's understanding of how engaging students with computational activities and prioritizing their knowledge, personal experiences, and community values can broaden the participation of diverse students in geoscience. The YouthQuake
Place-based Learning, STEM Identity Work and Identity Play with Storytelling Technologies
2023
-
2026
As young people experience challenging climate events and become aware of their systemic nature, they may feel powerless to shape the future and uncertain about STEM-based solutions. To address these challenges, this project focuses on the potential of place-based learning, field science, and
Collaborative Research: Exploring Theory and Design Principles (ETD): Investigating the relationships among making, wearables, curiosity, computational thinking and STEM careers
2023
-
2025
This project will examine and iteratively improve the design of a youth-centered 30-hour summer school curriculum that will engage high school students in making e-textiles (i.e., wearable technologies). The research builds on an existing curriculum (STEAM-Maker) that, when piloted, showed a
Puffins: Exploring how narrative, data science, and artificial intelligence enhance the study of ecology in middle school
2023
-
2025
The study of puffins can provide a fascinating subject area for the integrated learning of data and ecosystems. Once hunted to local extinction, puffins have made a dramatic yet fragile comeback and been re-established to historic nesting islands in mid-coast Maine. This project combines a
Learning from the Maui community to understand layers of trauma and trauma-informed STEM education as a tool to support processing, recovery, and healing
2023
-
2025
Youth and their caregivers can play a critical role in rebuilding communities that are heavily impacted from natural disasters. Trauma informed STEM education can support youth and their communities to heal and recover during the aftermath of disasters. In this project, the Maui community and
Minoritized Youth Computer Science Learning, Belonging and Career Interest: Coding and Creating with Beats
2023
-
2025
Computer science knowledge and skills are essential in the digital world. Despite progress in the availability of computer science (CS) coursework in secondary school settings, a number of student groups remain substantially underrepresented in computing. This project aims to broaden youth
Exploring an AI Literacies Framework for Young Children: A Delphi Study
2023
-
2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming society, and it is becoming increasingly clear to educators and researchers that K-12 students must be prepared for an AI-driven future. One crucial area that requires research is early childhood education (ECE) for children aged 5 to 8 years old
