Synopsis

The NSF FINDERS FOUNDRY program supports collaboration among K-12 educators, technologists, and researchers to develop innovative solutions to persistent challenges in learning and workforce development. These challenges are identified by K-12 students, families, and educators. The program aims to create and scale evidence-based practices, tools, and technologies that improve learning outcomes and prepare students for a digital, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven future.

A key focus is early exposure to AI to build curiosity, understanding, and readiness for future careers. The program encourages partnerships across sectors – schools, universities, industry, government, and nonprofits – to co-design responsive, technology-based solutions.

NSF FINDERS FOUNDRY program includes two phases: Planning and Development. Planning proposals help teams explore one of several focus areas. Only teams awarded Planning grants may submit Development proposals, which support the growth and implementation of promising ideas.

The program aligns with national priorities, including the

Etna (Sicily, Italy): An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 hit below Etna’s eastern flank this morning at 08:49 local time at a shallow depth of only 4 km and was felt in nearby towns such as Zafferana, Santa Venerina, and Milo.
No immediate change in volcanic activity has been detected, although such events, even if originally tectonic in nature, can trigger underground movements of magma. Interestingly, the volcano’s seismic activity has been picking up lately: already 3 days earlier, on 18 Oct 2026, an earthquake swarm occurred under the volcano’s western flank in the mid-to-upper slope.
