High school Career andTechnology education (CTE) and computer science classes should have extra hands on activitiesto gather more student attention. The best way to learn programming basics is to practice.In high school setting, most school curriculum has enough coding implementation . However,students may have some difficulty to understand the practices if they have lack of algorithmicand procedural understanding of computer science. I decided to add an extra hands on learningtool to my CS courses to show students to strength and power of computer science.MotivationComputer science has become a

It is important that the feedbackprovided to students be focused on improving performance, be understandable, and be clearlylinked to the desired learning outcomes [6, 8]. It is also important that assessment strategies are“cost-effective” for instructors in terms of the time and expertise required for implementation [8,19].

ExperiencePurposeThe national effort to remain a leader in scientific exploration and technological developmenthas redoubled educational efforts to not only introduce students to the field of engineering atyounger and younger grade levels, but also to place more effort on retaining the students whoultimately choose engineering as a career path. As a result, more institutions are placing a highervalue on first-year engineering introductory courses, a key component of retention at theundergraduate level [1].However, with engineering being an incredibly broad field, there is relatively little agreementfrom institution to institution, and often from department to department within the same college,on the content and skills to address in a first-year course [2, 3
