Volunteer recognition
AABoard recognizes Prajwal Chavan for volunteer scholarship, pilot support, and case registry contributions
May 2026
AABoard has recognized Prajwal Chavan with the AABoard Volunteer Scholarship Award for outstanding volunteer service and meaningful contribution to AAB's public-interest mission to advance AI literacy, evidence-based practice, and responsible learning communities.
Prajwal's work reflects the kind of volunteer scholarship AABoard depends on: field participation, careful case documentation, source-traced evidence work, and technical support for public infrastructure.


Contribution to AABoard pilots
Prajwal participated in several AABoard events and pilot activities, including four pilots that helped connect AABoard's registry work with real implementation contexts:
- Yorba Linda Public Library AI Storytime
- Afterschool Mini AI Summer Camp K-2
- Grades 3-5 Elementary Afterschool Mini AI Summer Camp
- Grades 6-9 Middle School Afterschool Mini AI Summer Camp
Case registry and dataset authorship
Prajwal gathered about 60 AI education cases for AABoard's evidence infrastructure. He is also the first author of the IEEE DataPort dataset AI Education Case Registry Dataset: Curated case records for studying real-world AI education practices and source-traced evidence.
The dataset supports research on real-world AI education practices by organizing source-traced case records that can be reviewed, compared, and reused by researchers, educators, institutions, and policy teams.

Website and public evidence infrastructure
Prajwal also helped build the AABoard website, contributing to the public-facing infrastructure that makes AABoard's cases, pilots, standards, publications, and policy signals visible. His work helped connect pilot activity, case documentation, dataset publication, and the website into a more coherent evidence system.
Why this recognition matters
AABoard's standards and registry work depend on careful documentation, public evidence, and sustained volunteer contribution. Prajwal's recognition highlights how student and volunteer scholarship can help turn field activity into reusable evidence for AI literacy education.
