effectiveness of the Capstone project course is the course’saverage numerical evaluation across all sections. Each section is reviewed for overall weightedaverage for all questions specific to the course. Then these averages are gathered and averaged tofind the mean score for the course itself. For academic year 2018-2019, the course averaged 4.11on a 5 scale. This was the transitionary year. In subsequent years, 2019-2020 was 3.83, 2020-2021 was 4.03, 2021-2022 was 4.21 and 2022-2023 averaged 4.14 [Table 4]. The evaluations in2022 and 2023 show a slight increase from 2020 and 2021. This data is crucial to understand thespan of five-year influence along with identification of the average increase (or decrease) at thetime the unified syllabus and

Triads and dyads allow the student to move the dot on the triangle (triad) or slider (dyad)to fit their narrative best [19]. This data was recorded using coordinates and analyzed for trends.Thematic CodingStudents provided data on their income by selecting from the multiple-choice question that asked:“In 2019 my family's income was…”. The answers students could choose from were 1) Less than$25,000; 2) $25,000-$50,000; 3) $50,000-$100,000; 4) $100,000-$200,000; 5) More than$200,000; and 6) Prefer not to answer or blank.

ormeasuring the impact in makerspace curriculum [16]. To address this gap, the University ofTexas, Arlington assembled an ad-hoc taskforce from various universities to develop a nationalstandard of maker-based competencies to enhance student learning outcomes to impactundergraduate students [17]. Among the taskforce was the University of Nevada, Reno. In 2017and 2019, the group received two National Leadership grants from the Institute of Museum andLibrary Services (IMLS).To form their framework, the grant team used the competencies-based education model, whichincludes the assessment of learning outcomes and learning that is personalized, measurable, andtransferable [16]. Ten maker competencies were developed, addressing various transferable
education at the high school level. Short bootcamp or workshop-styleprograms are common where educators and mentors work with high school students for 1-2 weeks.Similar to code.org, the learning goals in such programs are skewed toward the input data (usuallyimages) and the output results (predictions shown in a GUI) while skipping the technical detailsdue to lack of student preparation and time. Nevertheless, the high school students go out of theseworkshops with increased motivation for studying CS [13], increased preparation for college [14],and a positive outlook of AI [15].Educational programs that include technical details have also been organized. In 2019, a work-shop [16] was conducted using Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) to teach concepts like
