However, most of those courses are typically at the end of thecareer path (Capstone design project) and maybe an introductory design course in their first year.In these courses, students must find a problem and work on defining a specific problem, whichgets them closer to what the outcome expects. On the other hand, most of the coursesengineering students take in their first year ask them to solve well-defined problems with a rightanswer (they might be able to take different paths to get to that answer, but there is still one rightanswer).

Capstone CourseOur capstone course is a year-long course taken by all seniors in the department, not justComputer Science majors. In this course, students are placed in groups of four to six tocomplete a major project across two semesters. We split the course into the first and secondsemester offerings: Capstone 1 and Capstone 2 respectively. The capstone courses had 65students complete it with 29 who had previously taken ToC. Occasionally non-EECS majorsare part of some groups due to the interdisciplinary nature of the projects, but most groupmembers are EECS majors. Deliverables include a project analysis, lab notebook, formalgroup presentations (such as sprint reviews), as well as written documents (such as a designreport and a continuity

To meet these challenges, we developed an effective approach to teaching Pythonprogramming to secondary students with no prior programming experience in a week-long summer camp.The method we used employs project based learning and highly curated foundational lessons. Thisapproach begins with the identification of an appropriate capstone project that falls within the theme ofthe camp (e.g. coding, cybersecurity, data science) and that can be completed by students with minimalinstruction from camp staff. These projects should also be able to incorporate more advancedprogramming techniques than those that are covered during the camp to keep all students engaged,including those

To support online or off-campuslearning, students would be able to check out an IoT kit. The IoT learning kits provide theopportunity for remotely learning students to engage with hands-on learning. Thus, students gaina better understanding of IoT concepts and technologies and how they might be integrated intotheir capstone projects.

Class tests also revealed challenges associatedwith scaffolding both students and teachers at these grade levels and levels of experience orinterest in computational subjects. Students struggled with algorithmic design in particular,which made it harder for them to complete the capstone projects in the curricula. There werealso lessons learned about robust design and instrumentation of physical devices in classes thatmight only use them for a short period of time, posing hurdles for both students and teachers.Software affordances developed for programming and analyzing

projects can foster the inclusion of students with learning disabilities (Daniela and Lytras, 2019; Nanou and Karampatzakis, 2022). In the case of tertiary education, industrial-scale robots are used to prepare students for careers in industry by emphasizing aspects such as hardware, software, and human-machine interfaces (Nagai, 2001; Brell-Çokcan and Braumann, 2013). However, industrial-scale robots are expensive to purchase. In addition, there is usually some oversight over their usage due to time-sharing and to prevent damage, which prevents "free-play" by students. Some solutions to this include the use of miniature robots and the use of online labs (Mallik and Kapila, 2020; Stein and Lédeczi, 2021). Though these reduce the cost of the setups
