This product began as a school project, meant to be started and finished within onesemester. Due to an interest in the project from a professor, the project was allowed to become a researchexperience. While no proper testing was done on the device, it should be sufficient to serve its intendedpurpose. In future testing, with parental consent, Math Quest could be given to a small group of children,and observations could be made, such as their engagement, ability to

decisions to useAI tools in their classrooms. This project asks the overall research question: How do K-12teachers perceive AI tools and their impact on the workforce? To answer this question, our one-year project leveraged a national survey of K-12 educators’ perceptions of AI using an ecologicalagency framework.Theoretical FramingEcological AgencyThe guiding framework of our project is the ecological agency framework developed by Biesta etal. [1]. In the framework, agency is conceptualized as an individual’s ability to act purposefullyand feel in control of actions and the outcomes of those actions [1]. In this project, weconceptualize K-12 teachers as agents of change for the adoption of AI tools, who may feel moreor less of a sense of agency

Silicone, vitalin electronics as a semiconductor, represented 95% of global PV production in 2020.Recycling can repurpose materials for future solar panels, reducing waste andenvironmental impact. PV waste is projected to rise from 1.7–8 million tons in 2030 to 60–78 million tons by 2050 [17]. While delamination costs $13.62/m², compared to $90.00/m²for new panels, more effective methods, like chemical and thermal processing, involvespecialized equipment costing $25,000

Currently, the implementation only looks at the use of a single droneand its capabilities, while, hopefully in the future, the work will integrate advanced AI-based objectdetection and autonomous swarm control for more advanced scenarios.
