), and CrosscuttingConcepts (CCs). The SEPs are integral in engineering education because they not only supportteachers and K-12 students to develop an understanding of what scientists and engineers do butalso promote hands-on lessons that include open inquiry, which is the hallmark of scientificresearch.Unfortunately, even as today’s students effortlessly interact with modern technological artifacts,they often lack an understanding of the underlying engineering, technology, and businessprocesses. As technology continues to permeate and impact all aspects of our daily lives, it isessential that all students receive comprehensive, quality STEM education from adequately trainedteachers. Teachers must be prepared to provide their students not only

This is notable due to the differences betweenprogramming and math education. In gamified math education, math is used as the entireobstacle; however, programming education relies upon secondary puzzles where programming isused to implement the solution [27]. In programming education, in general, the primary benefitof gamification was found to be on the motivation of the students, with academic achievementand critical thinking skills following [27].

Researchers have shown, for example, that well-coordinated teamsdemonstrate a higher level of overall performance, especially when their tasks are interrelatedand compactly situated18, 21. Achieving the desired levels of coordination among geographicallydistributed teams can be extremely challenging, however, due to the negative impact thatincreased distance has on communication8. Research shows that a mere 100 meters of separationresults in a significant drop in communication between team personnel1. Beyond this point, itbecomes almost irrelevant whether collaborators are located in two different buildings, cities,countries, or continents
