Based onLTW’s early experience performing STEM outreach activities in schools, LTW recognized theneed to create easily accessible tools for visualizing and manipulating sound. In particular, LTWhas been developing browser-based implementations of a signal generator, an oscilloscope, and aspectrogram. These tools, commonly used in physics and engineering laboratories, represent andanalyze data gathered through the computer microphone and sent to the speaker. LTW hasmodified them and added functionalities that allow students to deepen their engagement byplayfully creating sound and music. For example, the

These courses, particularly those that must serve a diversepopulation of students outside of computer science, are difficult to design and presenttremendous challenges for the students who take them. For example, many novices hold mentalmodels that are not compatible with learning to program [1]. These challenges have led to abroad range of instructional innovation, many of which are focused on problem solving as acentral mechanism for developing computer science knowledge and expertise. Flippedclassrooms, in which problem solving comprises the majority of classroom time [2], [3], and aclosely related approach, lab-centric instruction [4], have shown promise and

BackgroundAdmission to engineering and computer science programs in the United States is often basedlargely, if not solely on traditional measures of academic achievement such as standardized testscores (e.g. SAT and/or ACT), high school grade point average, high school rank or postsecondarygrades from community college or university.1 Unfortunately, studies have shown that thesemeasures may be poor predictors of academic success in most disciplines;2 moreover, preliminaryanalysis of data collected in this project show that SAT may predict only about 10% of the variancein students’ self-reported Grade Point Average (GPA), while a group of ten Non-Cognitive andAffective (NCA) factors taken together predict 26% of this variance.3 We are exploring what
