Dr. Marcia Pool is a Teaching Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Programs in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). She has been active in improving undergraduate education including developing laboratories to enhance experimental design skills and mentoring and guiding student teams through the capstone design and a translational course following capstone design. In her Director role, she works closely with the departmental leadership to manage the undergraduate program including: developing course offering plan, chairing the undergraduate curriculum committee, reviewing and approving course articulations for study abroad, serving as Chief Advisor, and representing the department at the college level meetings. She is also engaged with college recruiting and outreach; she coordinates three summer experiences for high school students visiting Bioengineering and co-coordinates a weeklong Bioengineering summer camp. She has worked with the Cancer Scholars Program since its inception and has supported events for researcHStart. Most recently, she was selected to be an Education Innovation Fellow (EIF) for the Academy for Excellence in Engineering Education (AE3) at UIUC. At the national level, she served as the Executive Director of the biomedical engineering honor society, Alpha Eta Mu Beta (2011-2017) and is an ABET evaluator (2018-present).

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) are highly popularized as tools to solve many problems in finance, computer security, natural language processing, and image processing. The use of these in cancer research has potential to reduce diagnostic time, improve detection, and potentially inform treatment. There are opportunities to scaffold learning with hands-on activities in the context of a societal problem to strengthen interest and persistence in STEM careers. Within ML, classification can be distilled to identification of features that are similar or different in a series of pictures. The game, “One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others)” popularized by Sesame Street, can be used to introduce students to this complex algorithm.
