Emerging Technologies Group
Welcome to the Emerging Technology Group (ETG) at New York Tech, dedicated to fostering innovation in teaching and learning through the integration of emerging technologies. Our mission is to support faculty in harnessing the potential of these technologies to enhance classroom experiences and promote cross-disciplinary collaboration.
We are excited to announce the Emerging Technology Innovation Awards, designed to empower faculty members like you to explore, experiment, and implement emerging technologies in your teaching and research. Whether you're interested in Artificial Intelligence, AR/VR/MR, video games, or any other cutting-edge technology, the ETG is here to provide resources, funding, and collaboration opportunities.
The ETG is specifically interested in research into Artificial Intelligence and its use in classroom applications but encourages faculty to submit proposals on any emerging technology.
Two grant options:
$500 Exploratory Grant: Collaborate with another faculty member or work independently to develop innovative ideas for future deployment. You may have a technology you are interested in using and want to develop the idea a bit further, such as AI applications in a classroom setting, using VR for learning, video games as a curricular tool, etc. The goal of this a grant is to explore these (and other) technological possibilities in the classroom. Expected outcome: A working plan for developing technology with classroom implementation.
$1000 Implementation Grant: Take a theoretical exploration to implementation in the classroom by developing a module (or other learning experience) using emerging technology. You may have completed some theoretical work and now want to test it out in a classroom environment. Expected outcome: A module or another classroom experience for classroom implementation presented to the ETG.
All grant recipients will present their idea/implementation to the ETG (likely a video or an interview) and have the opportunity to present to a larger group of faculty this fall. Please note, as a requirement of this grant, you will need to provide deliverables by December 2024.
