Put Children In The Driving Seat Of Their Own Learning For Better Results
Children learn better when they are more active in lessons and have more control over their learning, says a new study.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
New Research Shows Learning Is More Effective When Active
Engaging students through interactive activities, discussions, feedback and AI-enhanced technologies resulted in improved academic performance compared to traditional lectures, lessons or readings, faculty from Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute concluded after collecting research into active learning.
School of Computer Science Part of Four New NSF AI Institutes
CMU Contributing to Innovations in Caregiving, Agriculture, Wireless Networks
Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science will contribute fundamental and cutting-edge research to a government-led push to bring about life-changing advances through artificial intelligence.
NoRILLA: AI Gorilla Brings STEM to Life at the Children's Museum of Atlanta
There’s something new rumbling and tumbling at CMA! If you’ve visited the museum lately you’ve seen children building towers and other structures out of blocks. That’s pretty common – we’re big block fans! But the friendly animated gorilla sharing challenges and feedback certainly adds a twist. And things get really fun when the foundation below the blocks begins to shake!

Forbes Names Guo Among '30 Under 30' Outstanding Young Scientists
Anhong Guo, who recently completed his Ph.D. in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) and next month will join the University of Michigan faculty, was named to the 2021 Forbes "30 Under 30" in science for his work on combining human and artificial intelligence to make visual information more accessible.
Team Receives $2.3M from NSF for Intelligent Science Stations
A team of Human-Computer Interaction Institute researchers composed of Systems Scientist Nesra Yannier (PI) and Professors Ken Koedinger (Co-PI) and Scott Hudson (Co-PI), has received a $2.3 million, four-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to further develop their intelligent science exhibits and mixed-reality system, NoRILLA.
Live-Streamed Game Collects Sounds To Help Train Home-Based Artificial Intelligence
From yawning to closing the fridge door, a lot of sounds occur within the home. Such sounds could be useful for home-based artificial intelligence applications, but training that AI requires a robust and diverse set of samples. A video game developed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers leverages live streaming to collect sound donations from players that will populate an open-source database.
