Both 2D and 3D modeling can be taught and practiced using pen and paper ordigital tools

In the past, AI was traditionally limited to industry. However, the integration ofengineering and computer science (CS) in pre-college education has led AI to emerge as the nextimperative topic in K-12 education [1], [2], [3].

Theapproach loosely aligns with an action research paradigm [1], but it is recognized that this projectcurrently does not represent a fully developed action research project. Thus, the study isdescriptive and exploratory in nature. It is also important to note that this study is cross-sectionaland does not include pre-pandemic data.
