The University of Georgia received a five-year, $10 million grant from the Institute of Education Sciences to establish a research and development center that will provide national leadership on best practices for using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in schools, strengthening competence in GenAI in middle school science classrooms. This project is led by Xiaoming Zhai, an associate professor at the UGA Mary Frances Early College of Education, and involves collaborations with Vanderbilt University, Educational Testing Service, and Albany State University. The School of Computing, with the involvement of  Dr. Tianming Liu, a Distinguished Professor, and Ninghao Liu, an Assistant Professor,  will play a major role by creating a suite of AI agents that leverage multimodal Large Language Models (LLMs) capacities. This work aims to pioneer a shift towards collaborative multimodal learning environments using AI. This initiative aligns closely with the multifaceted nature of STEM+C and prepares students to navigate and contribute to a world where multidisciplinary and technologically integrated solutions are paramount. More information about the project is available here. The school congratulations  Drs. Liu and looks forward to their innovative research in this pathbreaking project.
