the classroom more interactive. This helps studentssee right away if they're doing things right or wrong so they can fix mistakes as they go.In the early 1900s, a researcher named Jean Piaget found that kids understand things better whenthey do hands-on activities instead of just hearing facts [1]. And other experts like Meyers andJones agree that learning is more effective when students are actively involved, like reading,writing, talking, solving problems, or answering questions in a thoughtful way [2].Also, many studies have shown that technology and hands-on activities can help studentsunderstand how theory connects to real-life situations in engineering projects. This kind oflearning, called experimental-centric-based instructional

The above-mentioned topics will be sufficient tointroduce the fundamentals of digital electronics and establish the reason behind the digital revolutionbut not to discuss computer engineering yet. There are many books addressing these topics, so theseare not the subject of this paper.After the first phase of learning, students can build digital systems with discrete logic ICs or PLD devices.The second phase of teaching or

The DSMRI has been utilized tomeasure change in identity formation during informal learning experiences [12,13] The DSMRIconsists of 5 components: emotions, ontological and epistemological beliefs, purpose and goals,self-perceptions and definitions, and perceived action possibilities that comprise role identity (e.g.trying on the role of an engineer).

) call for cross-cutting engineering andtechnology instruction in K-12 STEM classes. We investigate how high school STEM teacherscan incorporate games, underutilized educational technology (e.g., robots, smartphones), andblock-based programming to increase motivation and engagement in computer programmingamong high school students through a qualitative, collective case-study design. Our case studyimplements an intervention where we train high school teachers to teach computational thinkingthrough a game that leverages problem solving, block programming, and a ‘robotics inhealthcare’ theme. After observing high school STEM teachers facilitate the designed learningunit, we will interview them about their perceptions on this teaching framework and
