Overview
This “Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Education” Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site (CSAIED-REU) will immerse a diverse group of undergraduates and community college students in a vibrant research community of faculty and graduate students working on user-centered research; developing prototypes and features for educational tools and programs to be used in classroom settings. Participant teams will pilot their studies in informal learning environments, meet daily with near-peer mentors, give progress reports at regular lab meetings, and deliver final presentations at local and national conferences. Students will be recruited from underrepresented groups and rural colleges and universities with limited research opportunities.
Goals

Increase students’ understanding of computing research methodologies.
Increase students’ awareness of the broad array of computing education and AI research disciplines.
Provide students with multiple points of support from a diverse group of peers and faculty mentors.
Increase students’ understanding of the process of applying to and preparing for entrance and success in computing doctoral programs.
Benefits
Work with active and experienced research faculty on emerging and socially relevant research topics.
Receive a stipend, housing, and parking on campus.
