In addition, these delivery-basedprojects engage students in meaningful design work that encourages clear, sustainable code. TheSoftware Factory has provided such projects and environment to students at Montana StateUniversity (MSU) since the 2014 academic year. This project aimed to explore the effectivenessof such instruction for high school students with limited programming experience. Students fromBozeman High School, Bozeman, Montana, were selected to work in a team with two MSUundergraduate students with the goal of creating an Android application over the course of asummer semester

The program provides students with theconfidence needed to enter the dynamic workforce of the future, which requires understanding ofbasic structure, materials and electrical design and computing. This program is guided byproject-based learning, an experiential learning pedagogy that focuses on excitement,engagement, applying the scientific method and engineering process, and making a presentationto demonstrate mastery of these principles. ASPIRE introduces students to the fields of computerscience and engineering. Students participate in hands-on group projects centered on theInternet-of-Things.
