Welcome to STREET (Students, Teachers, Researchers, Engaging with Emerging Technologies), a research group dedicated to exploring the intersection of education and technology. We are a team of graduate students and a professor at Queen's University passionate about harnessing the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to revolutionize teaching and learning. Our goal is to develop innovative tools and resources that empower educators to effectively use GenAI in their classrooms while addressing ethical and equitable concerns. We believe that by working collaboratively with students, teachers, and researchers from all backgrounds, we can create a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape.

The rapid evolution of educational technology has introduced generative artificial intelligence (genAI) as a potent tool that offers both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges. This multi-phase project aims to explore and understand how genAI can enhance educational practices while addressing associated concerns. The primary goal is to involve local educators and pre-service teachers in a collaborative process in order to leverage genAI to develop in partnership a tool to improve teaching methods and learning outcomes. By engaging with local educators and pre-service teachers, the project seeks to create an environment that encourages the exploration and implementation of genAI in education. Through collaborative efforts, the aim is to develop a deep understanding of the potential impact of genAI in educational settings, leading to the creation of practical insights and tools. The overarching goal of the project is to lay the groundwork for a more progressive collaborative learning educational landscape, where genAI can be harnessed in order to drive positive change and innovation in education.

We are delighted to announce that our research group has been awarded a SSHRC Institutional Grant (SIG) for our project, "Artificial Intelligence in Education." This prestigious grant will provide valuable funding to support our ongoing research and contribute to the advancement of AI in educational settings.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the SSHRC for their support and recognition of our research.
