| Description: | The ARTSI (Advancing Robotics Technology for Societal Impact) Alliance is a consortium of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and major research universities (R1s) working together to increase African American participation in computer science, with a focus on robotics. Hampton University is the new lead institution; Carnegie Mellon University remains the lead R1 school. ARTSI's goals are: 1) increase the number of underrepresented (primarily African American) students who pursue advanced training in computer science or robotics, 2) increase the institutional capacity of HBCUs to offer educational experiences in robotics, 3) build an active community of HBCU faculty and students who collaborate with each other and with R1 faculty on robotics teaching and research, and 4) conduct outreach activities for the broader public to increase awareness of and interest in African American achievement in robotics, and recruit new students to the pipeline. |
