A $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation will enable Mississippi State University to train 60 students in developing AI systems for digital image analysis. This initiative aligns with Mississippi's law mandating computer science education in public schools by the 2024-25 school year. The program will involve hands-on experiences, allowing students to prepare image data and train machine learning models.
The project aims to empower students not just as consumers of AI but as creators of intelligent solutions. Participants will engage in building smart devices and understanding the biases in AI applications. The program's long-term goal is to create educational resources that can benefit STEM educators across the country.
