The INVITE Institute (INclusiVe Intelligent Technologies for Education) seeks to fundamentally reframe how AI-based educational technologies interact with learners. We develop AI techniques to track and promote skills that underlie successful learning and contribute to academic success: persistence, academic resilience, and collaboration.

INVITE researchers will pursue (1) foundational AI research in machine learning and natural language processing to produce more robust approaches to modeling human learning, (2) use-inspired research with teachers and K-12 learners to integrate AI-based learning technologies into classrooms, particularly with those who have historically been marginalized in STEM education, and (3) community development with K-12 educators, researchers, administrators, and policymakers focused on AI’s application and deployment in educational settings.
We study and support learning in all the places it happens, including informal education spaces like museums, makerspaces and libraries, with the aim to create the next generation of AI-enabled “Education for All” systems and a diverse future workforce of scientists and engineers.
