Short papers on collaborative STEM inquiry span engineering notebooks scaffolding middle school robotics, multi-user immersive VR for science learning, and collaboration quality in computational modeling. Threads also include teacher knowledge building via KNILT minicourses and ordered-network-analysis-supported reflective assessment.
Papers examine perceptions of innovation and change, with several analyzing teacher and STEM-educator sentiments about generative AI through social media discourse on X and Reddit. Other talks cover participatory design for AI in teacher education, reconceptualizing conversational AI as a learning medium, and NGSS implementation.
An in-person poster session spanning collaborative learning research, with strong threads on AI literacy games, epistemic agency, and knowledge building alongside SEL, VR and maker collaboration, and equity-focused design. Studies range from a Turing-test game and weaving-based ML curricula to ceremonial Indigenous designs and belonging infrastructure in research-practice partnerships.
