Nearly two years after the launch of ChatGPT, much attention has been paid to how Generative AI can automate current teaching models and promote efficiencies in education. Yet, Generative AI also offers a far bolder opportunity to transform the very way students learn: through creation. We also know from our soon-to-be- released Stanford Accelerator for Learning research and from a recent May 2024 survey from the Walton Family Foundation that educators are seeking creative applications as their top use case with Generative AI. In this context, the Stanford Accelerator for Learning is launching a new seed grant program: Learning Through Creation with Generative AI, with two broad goals: ✔ Foster new solutions focused on learning through creation with AI technologies. ✔ Shape the discourse about the use of Generative AI beyond efficiency toward empowering educators and learners themselves toward innovative and creative use cases. The seed grant is open to faculty, staff and students at Stanford University. External partners are also welcome to participate in teaming up with our Stanford scholars.

Generative AI offers a bold opportunity to transform the very way people learn: through creation. In our newest seed grant, the Stanford Accelerator for Learning and Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) invite proposals exploring genAI’s potential to support learning through creative production, thought, or expression. We seek to fund research on how genAI influences learning-by-making, imaginative exploration, and the development of creative abilities. Projects may target creators such as students, teachers, adults, or families, across various domains including STEM, arts, humanities and social sciences, and in diverse settings such as workplaces, museums, classrooms, and homes. The grant is open to Stanford faculty, academic staff, postdocs, and students. Learn more and register for an info session: https://lnkd.in/g65PpcdR

6moExcellent initiative, Isabelle Hau! Generative AI has significant potential to revolutionize current educational models. This innovative approach not only streamlines teaching methods but also emphasizes creating a conducive learning environment that fosters creativity among students as well as educators. It is exciting to see that the Stanford Accelerator for Learning is tapping into this potential and pushing the envelope further with the seed grant program. As we are a team of tech enthusiasts developing an AI-based solution that can be helpful for educators. Can we connect to this further, Isabelle Hau Looking forward to seeing the innovative solutions that arise from this empowering initiative towards leveraging AI in education.
