INVITE Alliance

The INVITE Institute serves as a nexus that provides resources for building capacity for research and education in the intersection of AI and Education, serving a wide array of stakeholders, including researchers, scientists, K-12 educators, K-12 policymakers, university faculty, university students, and EdTech companies. As a nexus, the INVITE institute aims to: (1) provide opportunities to develop knowledge about the use, control, and impact of AI-enabled educational systems and (2) actively build a skilled future workforce to create the next generation of AIED technologies.

A key goal of the INVITE Institute is to build capacity for education and research in AIED through evidence-based approaches integrated into all activities. Through collaboration with the STARS Computing Corps, a national computing alliance, the INVITE Institute will offer programs for students to participate in research experiences, for scaling undergraduate courses in AIED with effective teaching approaches, and for engaging K-12 teachers in efforts to integrate AI-enabled STEM learning in their classrooms. By enlisting members of the K-20 educational ecosystem as part of an INVITE community of practice, we pursue two common goals: (1) building capacity for AI-augmented learning; and (2) expanding participation in STEM education and careers.
Additionally, to advance the transfer of knowledge and promote collaboration to advance AIED research, the INVITE Institute will actively share research findings and resources that are produced. Activities include:E community of practice, we pursue two common goals: (1) building capacity for AI-augmented learning; and (2) broadening participation of historically excluded groups in STEM.
