Furthermore, the SISTEM program sought to increaseexcitement and interest in STEM fields. Four sessions of SISTEM were conducted in 2016-2018with over 130 high
oftechnology.4 Skelton et. al. conclude that students that are familiar with robotic concepts and avery simple programming language prior to entering college are at an advantage5. While thisfirst year course is taught after the student has entered college, it is experienced by all enteringCS and SE freshman in their first semester. By offering a hands-on experience with a simpleprogramming language and robotics in this initial class, students without the benefit of priorexposure to the application of technology gain that experience. Hall and Mungar summarize thatrobotics have become a popular addition in first year experience courses for computer scienceand engineering because the physical aspect of a robot makes the computing process explicit
