The students that chose to pursue thealternate lab project tended to be more creative or motivated than those that chose the traditionalproject. We believe this is due to the fact that the alternate lab took student agency further byencouraging students to create original ideas, songs, and images for their simple video games,with no two final projects ending with the same game or theme.Many student groups settled on the long-standing traditional project as a default, rather than ac-tively choosing the alternative.

, an integrated silicon chip that includes the basic modulation circuitry and a non-volatilememory. The RF carrier signal is transmitted by the reader (forward link) at the hoppingfrequency band of 902-922 MHz. When the RF field reaches the tag it couples with the tag’santenna coil and consequently an AC voltage is generated across the coil. This voltage isrectified to supply power to the tag. As the tag is activated it starts to transmit back the codedinformation stored in its memory (reverse link) to the reader, using backscattered modulationtechnique, where it is decoded and retrieved [8][9].
