In order to validate this innovative approach, we will collectadditional data during Spring 2025 in order to investigate instructor and student experiences bycollecting surveys, interviews, videos, and classroom observation. In the future, we plan toexplore additional strategies for incorporating narrative elements and modifying course materialswith less effort required from the instructor.References[1] S.

We present acomprehensive method that utilizes the unique properties of ESP32 microcontrollers to captureWi-Fi signal metrics to generate a visual representation of the physical space and the object(s)within it. The inputs to this software mimic those provided by the hardware array and employsadvanced algorithms to process the metrics made by the array. This technique, often referred toas Wi-Fi imaging or Wi-Fi based material sensing, has significant implications for
