The onlymodification was that if students notified the instructor in advance that they would join the classvirtually exclusively, they would be teamed up with other entirely virtual students if possible.Teaching materials and assessment in Fall 2020 were largely kept the same as in Fall 2019.Quizzes and exams had to be done online instead of in-person. Project presentations and demoswere switched to Zoom. Rather than students working with their teammates side by side in atraditional lab setting, they were assigned to their team’s Zoom breakout room for discussion andgroupwork.

For example, Sorby developed a workshop using choice-based andfree-hand sketching questions to train students’ spatial visualization skills and showed significantpost-test improvement in a 6-year-long study [3]. However, the strong demand for STEMeducation poses a new challenge to such in-person workshops -- the ability to scale.
