knowledge was broughtinto and out of a hackathon and did not address the process in which students worked on projects(La Place et al., 2017).MethodsTo extend the previous knowledge transfer work and software development work, we offer thefollowing research questions: 1. What technical knowledge do students use in capstones and hackathons? 2. Where do students learn the knowledge used in capstones and hackathons? 3. How does the software development process used by students differ between capstone and hackathon projects?This is a qualitative pilot study meant to fuel future research on knowledge transfer betweenhackathons and academic experiences. The nature of hackathons often results in participantsdesigning and developing a project

To help with designing similareducational interventions, we identify the tutorial’s key principles and explain how they manifestthemselves. We attribute the success of our tutorial to having made careful design decisions basedon systematically researching the problem domain. Specifically, we followed a bottom-up exper-imental design approach, eventually creating a tutorial that provides a real-world context for theintroduced technical subject, while keeping the learners engaged and motivated. The retrospectiveinsights gleaned from the tutorial and its instructional strategies can serve

Rather than students all beingplaced in a large class or research pool, each paid student employee is assigned a staff supervisor in aspecific technical division. CDME has seven such divisions, focusing on a wide variety of technical topics.Each staff mentor is responsible for an average of 3-5 students and engages those students in a widevariety of technical and professional tasks within the scope of the division.

. These meetings coincided with peer evaluations and were used to discuss critical feedback about intergroup dialogue skills, e.g. listening. These conferences seemed to help considerably, but were not enough.3. Several students saw the community engagement aspects of the project as being at odds with the technical aspects of the project. Because the “community engagement” aspect of the project was left for students to define, there was widespread disagreement about how, and how much, to engage. For example, taking time to do in-depth stakeholder outreach was seen by some students as delaying technical progress. The technical and community aspects of the project would ideally be bound together in a holistic and unified vision
