topics such as hydraulics, water treatment, water pollutionand the role of soil in water infrastructure. This low-cost, user-friendly ecosystem has the potentialto be widely adopted by school districts, providing a rich educational experience for students.Additionally, WaterMobile is aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards,ensuring that it complements traditional classroom instruction. Our program not only addressesthe workforce challenges facing the water treatment industry, but also stimulates student interestin water resources and water treatment through an interactive and entertaining approach. Bymaking learning lively and interactive, our goal is to inspire the next generation of water treatmentindustry professionals

take advantage of games tosignificantly improve students’ comprehension in the process of learning knowledge 5 whileincreasing their focus retention. Moreover, by simulating real-world biological scenarios, studentscan learn while experiencing a high level of engagement.Consistency with established curriculaIn addition to innovative systems, we will not abandon valuable traditional educational methods.We will therefore also ensure that our system is in line with the principles of basic education. Thisis because only by integrating the learning platform with the established curriculum can weensure a balanced and comprehensive educational experience. To this end, we will conductnumerous workshops with students and teachers to evaluate and

literature review embarks on an exploratory journey into the realm of employing Chat GPTto augment critical thinking skills within the context of programming classes. As moderneducation continues its digital transformation, integrating AI-driven conversational agents, suchas Chat GPT, stands out as a promising pedagogical avenue.The review begins by dissecting the learning experience phases where Chat GPT exhibits itsutility. Within the preliminary programming coursework phases, Chat GPT is invaluable as aknowledge repository and interactive tool for novice learners. It helps clarify programmingconcepts, troubleshoot code, and encourage a nuanced understanding of algorithms. In advancedphases, when students confront complex coding challenges, Chat
