This Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Site project at the University of Nevada, Reno, will provide STEM educators (grades 6-14) with immersive research experiences in the cutting-edge field of Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI). Edge AI, which involves processing data directly on local devices rather than in centralized cloud systems, is a transformative technology critical for future advancements in areas such as autonomous systems, smart cities, and advanced manufacturing. By equipping teachers with first-hand knowledge and research skills in Edge AI, this project aims to address the urgent national need for a technologically skilled workforce and to enhance the quality of STEM education. The project will empower educators to inspire their students by bringing authentic, state-of-the-art computing and engineering concepts into their classrooms, thereby promoting scientific progress and contributing to the nation's economic prosperity and technological leadership. This initiative will directly benefit society by fostering a deeper understanding of AI among future generations and strengthening the pipeline of talent prepared for the challenges and opportunities in rapidly evolving high-tech fields. The primary goal of this RET Site is to provide Nevada teachers with a strong foundation in Edge AI principles and engage them in hands-on research using SmartEdge, a custom-designed, transferable Edge AI testbed. The research will focus on areas including machine learn
