Descriptive QuestioningAs a part of the classroom experience, and in anticipation of this paper, participants were askedabout their experience using this form of questioning. Figure 5 gives the results of this survey.The majority of the participants felt that using the interactive questioning improved learning.Thirty-four percent, however, did not think it improved learning.

K-Means and SOM algorithms are performed with a subset of participants' features as inputdata. The clustering evaluation, meanwhile, is achieved with a selection of indices, an intra-cluster measure and an overall quality criterion for K-Means, and two measures related totopological ordering for SOM.The comparison of internal structure of both clustering (set of profiles) shows that there aresimilarities between them on the one hand and some pinpointed differences that can not beevaluated in advance without the opinion of an expert familiarized with the specifications ofthe MOOC on the

added benefit of borrowing demosfrom different research labs is that the high school students are exposed to the breadth oftechnologies that are being developed across the country. Additionally, some manufacturers andfaculty have donated materials to be consumed during the hands-on activity. An added advantageof using faculty donated materials is that it stimulates investment in the project, whichencourages faculty and their graduate students to invest time volunteering to support theworkshop.Volunteer support is recruited through several different approaches.

Often, these methods are deemed“student centered”, as the mastery of the concepts falls on the students to understand theimportance of the material from the problems or projects.11 Overall, inductive teaching styleshave more student benefits than deductive teaching methods. Inductive teaching methods offermore combinations to reach the learning style needs of the classroom and engage students moreactively in the subject matter.Student Perceptions in the ClassroomSatisfaction, self-efficacy, motivation, and classroom environment are the main factors in
