grant from the U.S. Department of Education to integrate artificial intelligence education into teacher training and graduate programs in rural Ohio.<\/li>\n<li>The project, funded by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, aims to enhance artificial intelligence education in rural Ohio and rural Kansas.<\/li>\n<li>Wright State is partnering with Kansas State University, while the University of Florida is observing and providing feedback on the initiative.<\/li>\n<li>The project aims to enhance AI literacy by offering early educational exposure, deepening these skills in college, and preparing graduates for AI-driven careers.<\/li>\n<li>Technical expertise from the College of Engineering and Computer Science will focus on AI tools, while the College of Health, Education and Human Services will concentrate on teacher preparation.<\/li>\n<li>The project emphasizes teaching core AI concepts and using professional development to help educators integrate AI into their classrooms.<\/li>\n<li>A unique feature is the use of neurosymbolic AI, which aims to reduce AI-generated errors by combining neural and symbolic systems.<\/li>\n<li>The initiative will involve students in curriculum development, creating AI tools, and gaining hands-on teaching experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wright State Newsroom \u2013
