NSF AI Education Act of 2024

HR 9402, the NSF AI Education Act of 2024, creates new funding programs to expand artificial intelligence education across U.S. schools and colleges. It establishes scholarships and fellowships for undergraduate and graduate students in AI-related fields, with priority for programs focused on K-12 AI education, AI in manufacturing/agriculture, and outreach to rural institutions and Tribal Colleges. The bill also creates "Centers of AI Excellence" at community colleges and career technical schools to integrate AI into curricula and workforce development, and provides research funding specifically for AI teaching methods in K-12 schools serving low-income, rural, and Tribal communities. Additionally, it incorporates AI skills development into the National STEM Teachers Corps to prepare educators to teach AI concepts in classrooms.
