Our Research

We are working to develop AI Partners that collaborate with teams of students and their teachers to promote development of AI literacy, STEM competencies, and 21st century learning practices of collaborative problem solving and critical thinking.

The AI Partners  are continuously improved through classroom design and development studies. The goal is that our AI Partners will promote deep conceptual learning via rich socio-collaborative learning experiences for all students.

Strand 1: Our Machine Learning Development Experts focus on the development of computational models to process human language, gestures and emotions in noisy classrooms.

Strand 2: Our Team Science Experts strive to better understand how students and teachers can collaborate effectively with AI in both classrooms and remote learning contexts.

Strand 3: Our Education Experts work hand in hand with students and teachers to develop AI-enhanced curricula.

Institute-wide: Our Big Picture Experts guide the classroom data collection and analysis, the framework for the technical architecture of the AI Partners, and the actual AI Partners' design, implementation, and testing.
