The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in the development of an immersive, game-based, learning app to help teach statistics in an engaging way to middle and high school students. Designed as a classroom resource, the app is aimed at providing a mechanism to promote statistical thinking. The app will integrate research activities into the teaching of statistical concepts and techniques to common core curriculum standards. The game design is expected to increase interest in statistics and also increasing the number of students going into STEM related fields. This game-based app features artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality learning components tailored to meet students where they are academically and customize fit to each student’s individual interests. This app will be used as a classroom resource. Phase I research and development addresses technical feasibility hurdles such as the development of augmented reality and artificial intelligence features. Other challenges include the development of a user-friendly, seamless application that does not require internet access and a feasible system architecture to integrate the computational engine with the game user interface and ensure reasonable response times. To overcome the inherent technical hurdles, the team will use an agile development cycle that allows for faster development of the finished product, as well as flexibility to respond to changes and requirement updates as they occur.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）I阶段项目的更广泛/商业影响是开发一个基于游戏的，基于游戏的学习应用程序，以吸引初中和高中生的吸引人的方式来帮助教学统计。该应用设计为课堂资源，旨在提供促进统计思维的机制。该应用程序将将研究活动整合到统计概念和技术的教学中，以纳入通用核心课程标准。预计游戏设计将增加对统计数据的兴趣，并增加进入与STEM相关领域的学生的数量。这个基于游戏的应用程序具有人工智能（AI）和增强现实的学习组件，该学习成分是为了与学生进行准确的，并自定义适合每个学生个人兴趣的学生。该应用将用作课堂资源。第一阶段的研发解决了技术可行性障碍，例如增强现实和人工智能特征的发展。其他挑战包括开发不需要Internet访问的用户友好，无缝应用程序，并且可行的系统体系结构将计算引擎与游戏用户界面集成在一起并确保合理的响应时间。为了克服继承的技术Hubles，团队将使用一个敏捷的开发周期，从而更快地开发成品，并灵活地响应发生变化和需求更新。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来审查审查标准来诚实地通过评估来诚实地支持。
