Manufacturing for Authentic Digital Food Design Solutions1. IntroductionEntertainment as a communication and experimental platform can be effectively applied forintroducing students to social issues related to food equity, nutrition, and security in classroomlearning environments. These issues are characterized by the lack of consistent access to enoughfood for an active, healthy life. Educational projects at the intersection of food and entertainmenthas the potential to raise awareness about social issues and encourage students to creatively thinkabout innovative solutions using digital entertainment tools and human-centered designmethodologies.

DBT curricular experiences provide acontext for students to practice critical design skills and an opportunity for students to learn deeplessons about the nature of the engineering design process, including project and teammanagement [2, 4].Additive manufacturing (also referred to as 3D printing) has become an integral part ofengineering design and lab courses in K-12 and higher education. Low-cost and readily available3D printers allow prototype manufacturing and testing which is otherwise difficult to incorporateusing traditional, subtractive manufacturing methods in courses. 3D printers have great potentialbeyond simply serving as a prototyping tool.The objective of our work is to develop, implement, and

This sequential model had twomajor disadvantages. First, because the measurement and data acquisition content wasconcentrated at the start of the semester, many students struggled to remember what they“learned” in the first part of the class when they completed their culminating project later inthe semester, in which they designed their own experiment and then collected and analyzedtheir own data. This phenomenon illustrated that

A potential concern of an overly difficultescape room is a decrease in student’s confidence to succeed [10]. Although setting challengingproximal goals is also useful in developing self-efficacy [11]. One goal of this escape room wasto provide an additional opportunity for students to practice skills and use equipment before theybegin an open-ended project at an appropriate challenge level [12]. Since self-efficacy (i.e., task-specific and situational confidence) can be increased with authentic mastery experiences [11], theescape room provides an opportunity to practice or demonstrate mastery of laboratory skills.

Due to space limitations, limited equipment, staff, and safety requirementswithin the laboratory, relevant experiments were usually conducted in groups of 3~4 students ata time. This infrastructure gave each student minimal hands-on experience each week, perhaps acouple of minutes at maximum. The lack of hands-on experience

importance of relying on real-world behavior to guide understandingand engineering design.One of the guiding principles for the design of lab activities for this project was that lab activitiesare most effective if they align closely with concepts and principles taught in class. In addition,lab activities should allow students to visualize, experience, and clarify confusing concepts. Tothis end, equipment should be as simple as possible so that students don’t get lost in aspects ofthe experiment that are not at the core of the phenomena studied. Unnecessary programs, gad-gets, tools, or assembly should be avoided when possible. Further, sufficient equipment needs tobe provided so that students can all conduct experiments first-hand, rather than

Two un-derlying concepts are core to the reason we use experimentation in education: 1) the scientificmethod, and 2) individual knowledge construction.The basis of the scientific method is that of experimentation. Gower [1] traces the foundations ofthe scientific method through Gallileo, Bacon, Newton, the Bernoullis, Bayes, and more. Despiteuncertainty and the probabilistic nature of experimental results, scientific knowledge is based oncertain methods, logic, and experiments. If we are to understand this scientific knowledge
