university if I need it.”In the current reflection, students highlighted the financial challenges associated with internetaccess and having devices connected to the internet. One student suggested that providing freeinternet access or offering the ability to borrow or rent a university computer could ensure equalaccess for all. Another student mentioned that paying for internet services can be prohibitivelyexpensive, especially for those who do not live close to campus due to financial constraints.Therefore, remote lab developers should prioritize creating tools that are less dependent onresources that may be inaccessible to some students. This would help alleviate the digitalinequality barrier and promote more equitable access to remote lab

-making technology to miniaturize the laser array. In workingmode, 576 points fill the field of view of the iPhone camera at roughly 60 º by 48º [12], and lightpulses, reflected off objects in the environment, are received by a single-photon avalanche diode(SPAD) that functions as the camera or receiver. The depth map that is ultimately available toapp developers is processed within the phone’s architecture based on a combination of inputsfrom the LiDAR sensor as well as the phone’s camera, accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer.The LiDAR sensor improves the accuracy of depth sensing while the camera allows for greaterdensity. The technology represents a significant leap in mobile sensing and more details areavailable for the interested reader [12

that this phenomenon reflected that students involved in project-based learning activities were more inclined to regard themselves as a part of the engineeringcommunity.The students in Motamedi’s study [19] tended to prefer the flipped classroom because of itsflexibility with their schedules, their ability to watch lectures when they felt motivated tolearn and when they knew that they would be able to stay focused, and their increasedengagement with short video content. A significant disadvantage was their inability to askquestions while learning the material; thus, students would go to class feeling confused andill-prepared. Vidic et al.’s [18] study of flipped classrooms addressed this issue by allowingstudents to post their questions about

The most significant350 change between pre- and post- self-assessment was observed for Criterion “D” (pre- and post-challenge351 averages of 3.1 and 4, respec vely). Anecdotal observa ons and student feedback suggest that this352 learning approach is novel to the majority of students, and they feel most capable of addressing these353 challenges once they have been exposed to them and ac vely engaged in the process.354 Finally, before introducing the Team Challenges to students, significant me is devoted to introducing355 engineering problem-solving, which involves applying STEM concepts to prac cal applica ons.

, the simplicity of the project naturally yields the project to be used in awide variety of learning environments and student learners. When implementation does occur, the generatedresults would need to be studied and further modifications would be made to the teaching approach.Eventually, the module and learning materials along with the project will be made highly accessible toeducators through a centralized soft robotic teaching website being developed at Rowan University.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.2235647.

student engagement, critical thinkingskills, and overall learning outcomes. The current study contributed to the discourse on thetransformative potential of hands-on learning in the context of biology education.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Digital Learning Lab, in one of their articles [26],conceptualized hands-on learning as a cyclical process that encompasses concrete experience,reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. A few studieshave shown how hands-on learning improves student outcomes, including motivation andengagement, conceptual knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving development. Tofurther substantial the ongoing discussions, some studies [27], [28] have found that hands

A summary of the training follows: Guidance for tutors • Reflect on the purpose of the activity and how students experience it • Students have written guidance and can complete the activity independently • Avoid telling students things directly or giving them instructions • Listen to students, understand their point of view first and use that as a starting point • Be positive and
