The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a digital platform that transforms the way young children perceive and engage in STEM career exploration. Factors promoting STEM education, particularly for under-represented groups, have not been incorporated into personalized learning plans. This technology will use artificial intelligence to develop customized educational plans. This I-Corps project is based on the development of the development and evaluation of a new approach to generate recommendations by combining a model of surprise with a model of user preference to deliver curiosity-inspiring recommendations. The proposed technology is a digital platform that empowers students to pursue STEM learning and careers. This project will incorporate artificial intelligence and informal learning practices to recommend learning modules on a personalized basis.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

I-Corps项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发一个数字平台，改变幼儿感知和参与STEM职业探索的方式。促进STEM教育的因素，特别是代表人数不足的群体，尚未纳入个性化学习计划。这项技术将使用人工智能来开发定制的教育计划。这个i-Corps项目的基础是开发和评估一种新的方法来生成建议，方法是将惊喜模型与用户偏好模型相结合，以提供激发好奇心的建议。拟议的技术是一个数字平台，使学生能够从事STEM学习和职业生涯。该项目将结合人工智能和非正式学习实践，在个性化的基础上推荐学习模块。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
