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 co-developed with K–12 teachers, diverse students, and other community stakeholders; 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.
