The ISEA (Innovation Science for Education Analytics) program is a data science training program, specialized in applying artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) techniques in educational research and technology development. The program is funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), and offered by a collaboration among faculty from the UW College of Education, the UW eScience Institute, and other higher education institutions including the University of Oregon, the University of Maryland, and Vanderbilt University.
The Hackweek will bring together ISEA fellows and faculty members to use data analytics, software design and development, and research skills to tackle real-world educational issues. From July 8th to July 12th, the fellows will work full-time as teams, complete or make significant progress on the sponsors’ projects under the sponsors’ guidance and the faculty’s support. For projects that cannot be completed within the Hackweek time, they will continue to work on them after the Hackweek. Products and findings will be presented at the Fall Virtual conference.
