Paper ID #44706Designing an Iterative Research Kit Exchange Program for Remote HighSchool Science (Evaluation)Karl Benjamin Ernsberger, Graduation Solutions, LLC Karl Ernsberger began developing novel learning experiences as an undergraduate at Embry Riddle Aero- nautical University, setting up his own Senior Thesis program with the GSIS department chair to manage a nonprofit office in Iraq during the 2007-2008 invasion. Since that experience in creating his own learn- ing environment, he has spent 12 years in Secondary education on two continents, developing and testing learning systems in STEM classrooms.

and its process provided students with a real-life experienceof working with multiple disciplines to execute a successful project.(3) Engineering and ConstructionThe engineering and construction portion of the competition provided vast opportunities for the studentsto implement their design knowledge into practice, research new design methods to reduce waste, andcollaborate with other engineers to integrate their designs.Water ConservationConsidering the scarcity of water in California, the Roots House maximizes water collection through a (1)greywater system, rainwater collection, and fog harps. The greywater recycling system collects wastewaterfrom bathroom sink, shower, and clothes washer and cleans it to be used for toilet flushing and

best support students in the labsand later in structural design industry, two pre-project surveys were conducted with upper classstudents and industry practitioners respectively.This led to a 24-chapter document on Python programming topics, including libraries fornumerical and symbolic mathematics (NumPy, SciPy, SymPy) and creation of tabular and plotoutputs for communicating results in technical reports (Pandas, Matplotlib). The manual includesexplanations, graphics, and examples related to structural engineering for students to follow andapply to coursework, along with exposure to industry usage. A complete draft of the manual wasimplemented in the Fall 2023 offering of the first computing lab. Student comments werecollected throughout the
