serious goal of increasing interest in and awareness of informationtechnology among high school students. However, the end of the year competition which iscalled IT-Olympics downplays the competitiveness in an effort to make the whole experienceenjoyable. The target audience for this project is high school students, especially those studentswho previously have not exhibited an interest in studying IT. The authors have found thatcollaborative real-time challenges where teams from different schools are required to shareresources and join forces on design challenges are very successful. The students exhibit moresocial interaction after these collaborative real-time challenges and this adds to the "party"atmosphere of the entire competition

, reported two weeks later an officialdiagnosis by a specialist of “borderline right axis deviation” from a clinical 12-lead ECGrecording. We disclaim in the course that we are not trained physicians and should not make anyhealth diagnoses in class, yet it is gratifying to observe consistency between clinical and student-made ECG measurements.Impacts of the lab activities are seen in later years as well. For example, senior-year capstonedesign projects and junior-year biomedical design projects increasingly incorporate Arduino-based instrumentation. Whereas no biomedical engineering capstone projects used Arduinosystems before introducing them in the bioinstrumentation class, after four years, 11 of 29projects used them in successful design projects

The QKDlab, for instance, prompted students to abstract concepts about photon polarization,measurement, and error detection into a functional mental model of quantum-securedcommunication. Similarly, the poster project required students to generalize learning acrossmodules into novel applications, promoting higher-order thinking and deeper conceptualmastery. Finally, students engaged in Active Experimentation through the design andimplementation of their own research projects, an essential capstone that allowed them to testand apply their ideas independently. For many participants, this was their first opportunity toengage in self-directed research using advanced lab

The selection should consider not only what microcontrollers are currently popular, butalso the ease of project development using the system, the availability of support to students, thecosts of starting up a lab, and the flexibility of the platform to fit into a course with multipleobjectives.
