, attitudes, and self-reported skills related to generative AI, coding, robotics, andengineering tasks. Self-reported likert scale responses of coding ability and robotic skill werealso collected. This was triangulated by asking implicit questions about student coding ability.More specifically student responses to questions such as “If you do have prior programmingexperience: when you "get stuck" and need help, what online resource(s) would you use to figureout how to move forward?” helped assess their prior coding knowledge. For instance,generalized responses that referred to use of a search engine or asking others for help wereindicative of lesser prior knowledge in comparison to student responses that referred to StackOverflow, open source

In Tait et al.

Someinterventions have included reflections surrounding mental health [19], in-class discussion [20],watching videos or consuming media [21], or designing products that promote mental health[22].
