The Institute Mission

  • To develop foundational theories and AI technologies for creating next-generation collaborative learning environments composed of diverse student-AI teams.
  • To grow the diverse workforce of the future by engaging 5,000 middle and high school students in innovative AI education through AI-enabled pedagogies.
  • To serve as a national nexus point for empowering diverse collaborators to envision, co-create, critique and apply student-AI teaming in their communities.

How We Are Accomplishing This

  • We have integrated more than 50 researchers from 14 research areas to engage in foundational research in curriculum development; design and rapid prototyping; data curation and annotation; algorithm development; experimentation and evaluation; and community resource development.
  • We are integrating AI-education in STEM/Science and Technology courses to provide measurable learning outcomes.
  • We are providing unprecedented interdisciplinary training of students and early-career scholars.
  • We are engaging a large and diverse community during all phases of the research.
  • We have identified six Strategic Impacts, which keep us on the path to achieving our goals.Â
