AbstractThis paper demonstrates the design and implementation of an innovative gamified softwareapplication for learning human-spoken languages. The game serves as an interactive and enjoyablesupplement to aid the learning process of different languages for elementary-aged children. At its core,the application uses a translation Application Programming Interface (API) to process text and outputtranslations in the target language chosen by the learner. Additionally, it is AI-enabled, allowing theutilization of APIs such as OpenAIs’s ChatGPT to enhance the translation capabilities. Provided is abasic proof of concept that was developed as part of the Final Pi Project in the Intermediate ComputerProgramming (COSC 1352) course. The gamified program was

Discussions and Lessons about MicroPython-based Microcontroller educationCustom microcontroller applications could be built rapidly by using the MicroPython language. Userscan meet the required functions with a relatively low effort. As described, for instance, typicalfunctions such as serial communion, motor control, and servo control can be implemented usingMiroPython programs. Users who may seek a rapid prototype development environment ornon-commercial hobby projects can use boards that support a MicroPython language, and they cancomplete their

In a follow-upstudy (Yang et al., 2021), similar gains are reported in design-based projects that integrate CTbased activities into a science context (investigating life on Mars) and an engineering context(designing earthquake resistant bridges). Student thinking in both cases is scaffolded by aproblem-solving process and connections are made to CT at each point in the process.Increasingly, K-12 education has recognized the importance of

In addition, capstone courses arenow explicitly promoting entrepreneurial versions of the course; while many capstone projects aredefined by industry partners and sponsors or sometimes academic projects, courses are now beingpiloted that specifically cater to the needs of students who want to discover and work on their ownideas [11].Entrepreneurially infused educational opportunities are also catching on with some vigor in designcourses before senior year. These cornerstone experiences were developed for first and secondyear engineering students based on the known impacts of design on self-efficacy and persistencewithin engineering through the formation of an engineering identity [5].

These comparisons are composed in short reflections by theengineering students to facilitate discussions of social, cultural, and educational design biases.Introducing the discussion of inclusivity in design can be accomplished in many ways. We areproposing the use of a compatibility survey and reflection to drive unit discussions. Some otherapproaches to this quandary include course development, gamification, and design projects.
