As part of a professional development experience, inservice teachers were provided with lessons and activities emphasizing computer vision. Lessons focused on image processing, machine learning for visual data, and applications in robotics and visual media. Personal Construct Theory (Kelly, 1955) was used to answer the following research question: After middle school teachers engaged in professional development emphasizing computer vision, what changes in thinking occurred in relation to computer vision? Results showed changes in thinking in the form of a more refined understanding of computer vision and its role in STEM education.
