stage would be Unity’s specificimport file compatibility as well as the compatible files still not being able to be imported properlybecause of windows video file decoder. This led to a couple hours of the project being dedicatedsolely to getting the video file into unity and functioning properly. Another design aspect that hadto be considered was the orientation of the plane as well as the main camera that is filming the“scene” of VR. This was mostly due to the unfamiliarity with Unity software.STUDENT SURVEY RESULTS:The final assessment of how this idea fared is done by providing the students with surveys inTables 1 and 2 based on seven criteria listed below:1 Rate your understanding of meaning and nature of the robotics lab course.2

Guild was held in the winter of 2022 at a large urban public university in theSoutheast. It gave students the chance to engage in experiential software projects,community-building activities, and mentorship from computing majors and industryprofessionals. In our research, we applied disciplinary identity theory, with a focus on computingidentity, to explore participants’ perceptions of the experiences and the impact of the Guild ontheir future computing aspirations. Towards this goal, we used a convergent parallelmixed-methods approach. We conducted pre- and post-workshop surveys of (n = 34) students’impressions and goals. In the analysis, we quantitatively assessed responses around students’computing identities and qualitatively evaluated open

Limitations and Future OpportunitiesWhile overall successful in student learning outcomes, interest, and engagement, we identifiedseveral limitations and future opportunities. • Students spend much of the course building prescribed circuits and relatively little time designing new circuits. This was required due to the short 7-week course duration, and students reported appreciation of the well-defined and well-organized labs given the fast pace. The open-ended sensor project does give a small experience in circuit design, construction, testing, and troubleshooting. However, a longer 14-week semester or 10
