The Sugarcube team is elated to announce that we are a recipient of the National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Grant! The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has listed advanced personalized learning as their first of fourteen 21st Century Grand Challenges.?Sugarcube’s mission is to improve students’ retention rate in STEM disciplines by providing personalized self-paced online learning tools.? ? The Sugarcube Systems team is developing personalized self-paced STEM online educational tutoring tools using artificial intelligence, teaching the skill to translate word problems into mathematical expressions. The tool will assess student understanding of word problems and create specific support for student drills.?The initial application will be supplementary materials for undergraduate thermodynamics courses, but the process applies to STEM education at all levels. This system will advance techniques for self-paced supplementary instruction to increase STEM retention, attraction, and diversity in STEM majors. ? One of the best ways to improve the quality of life is to significantly increase the number of STEM professionals that create new technologies to solve problems bringing new capabilities that did not previously exist and forming new industries.? ? We are very grateful to be given this opportunity, and at this time, we would like to introduce the Sugarcube team: Founder: Jason Clark, Ph.D. // Co-founder: Quintana "Quincy" Clark, Ph.D.// New Business Developer: Wesley Simmons// New Business Developer: Crystal Kreutzer-Bramhill// Senior Technical Officer: Justin Clark - By Crystal Kreutzer-Bramhill #sugarcubesystems #stemeducation #womeninstem #nsffunded #personalizedlearning #nsf #stem

关于我们
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to improve education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The proposed project develops a personalized tutoring tool using artificial intelligence, teaching the skill to translate word problems into mathematical expressions. This system will identify areas of weaknesses in interpretation of word problems, then create associated drills. This can be used at various educational stages to help recruit and retain students in STEM disciplines. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project develops an artificial intelligence tool to assess student understanding of word problems and develop associated tools for student drills. The initial application will be supplementary materials for undergraduate thermodynamics courses, but the process is applicable to STEM education at all levels. The system has a testing capability to gather data on student performance and develop a customized response. This system will advance techniques for self-paced supplementary education to increase STEM student retention. 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.
