Some puzzlesrequire the player to estimate the size of an object by finding the floor with an exhibit of thatobject and then clicking on that exhibit. Other puzzles give the player a definition or descriptionof an object and then require the player to click on the exhibit that matches the description.Critics of educational games sometimes compare them to chocolate-covered broccoli and saythat instead of making learning more fun they actually make it worse, just as chocolate-coveredbroccoli is less appetizing than plain broccoli [2].

IntroductionChina’s undergraduate computing education, started in the late 1950s, has gone throughtremendous changes in recent decades, both in numbers and in contents, in response to thechanging needs of the economy, research, and social development. By 1960, about 15universities in China offered computing related programs2 [1]. According to [2], there are 2,603computing related programs with 901,000 students in these programs in 2015, making up forabout 16 percent of the entire engineering student body in China.

Other countries, suchas Britain, Germany, France,Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Canada have also issued strategieson various aspects of AI policy. This paradigm shift has a significant impact on skills needed for a diverse science and en-gineering workforce that is capable of designing and deploying AI-based systems, tools andservices. However, our education has not kept pace with this evolution, especially at K-12level. In fact, there is a crucial need to bring AI learning experiences into classrooms of pri-mary and secondary education. As

Recent NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) research shows that approximately 94 percentof accidents are caused by human error, including around 40 percent involving intoxicateddrivers and 10 percent distracted drivers [2].Self-driving vehicles could dramatically reduce the number of accidents. The sensors on a self-driving car are always observing. They are not affected by the state of the driver (fatigue,emotion, etc.) and can scan in multiple directions simultaneously. The software on an 2autonomous vehicle could prove to be less error-prone than human. Cars with advance safetyfeatures and eventually self-driving
