Fellowship Program

Apply to be a part of the IntegrateAI Fellows Program

We invite teachers to partner with us in the IntegrateAI project. IntegrateAI is designed to flexibly integrate AI learning through NLP into middle school science through participatory co-design with middle school teachers. The integrated curriculum draws on the NGSS three-dimensional learning framework and is aligned with Florida and Indiana and middle school science. A key element of the curriculum is to leverage problem-based learning to integrate NLP in science classrooms.

Selected Fellows Will Receive

  • $1200 compensation for their participation in the project after implementation

  • Documentation for Professional Growth Points and Continuing Education Units

  • Access to NLP4Science, a digital NLP platform.

  • Robust professional development opportunities around collaborative problem-based learning, including a 2 day-long in person session (cost of substitute teachers will be covered)

  • Dedicated technical support, instructional coaching, and a professional learning community that includes our team of expert consultants and other IntegrateAI Fellows

Teacher Eligibility

  • Any teacher is eligible to become a IntegrateAIFellow if they:

  • Teach in Florida, Indiana or North Carolina

  • Will teach a middle school science, STEM elective, or computer science course

  • That covers environment conservation/ecosystems topics
