The value of exploratory game playing in the development of mathematicalreasoning was clearly observed as well as its role in engaging students fromunderrepresented groups. It is recommended that future programs of this nature alsoinclude a measurement of gains in student critical thinking that result from such gameplaying.IntroductionThe need to recruit more students to pursue degrees and careers in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is well established. Within the next decade,STEM-based jobs are expected to grow at a rate of 17%, and it is expected that about onemillion additional STEM graduates will be needed to fill these jobs.

Up to three groups are assigned with the sametask. In this way competition is generated, which in turn increases the students’ motivation.While in the second semester the main focus is on the acquisition of programming abilitiesand on soft skills, the tasks of the third semester projects focus more on the subject area of thecomplementary courses.
