In this paper wecritique some current teaching approaches and agree that this is one source of the problem. Aglance at almost any textbook on introductory programming will reveal a presentation that startsfrom many flawed assumptions about the target audience, and that does not follow well-established principles for how to teach technical material. Computer programming educationsimply is not as mature as the teaching of the sciences and engineering, and this is reflected inthe CS1 failure rate. In this paper we explore some
.”Bridget Benson, the faculty microcontroller consultant and computer engineering author,remarked that it was a great change of pace to work on a project whose goal was to impart asocial message rather than on a project whose goal was to design something for a practicalpurpose. “I have never worked on an educational engineering project with an artistic outcome being its primary goal – I am most typically designing systems for a particular practical and tangible use. It was cool to see how engineering and art could converge on one project to promote an impactful social message through its design process as well as its outcome.”Nikita Guliaev, the student lead on the project, felt a strong sense of accomplishment
