Those same students would later be seen working together atthe same times and locations where they were working. Another author noted having the same experience and also struggled to find students to studywith for qualifying exams.

Devising a strategy to create fulfilling and informa-tionally identical labs for both groups proved to be a challenge that required meticulous planning,which is outlined in the following subsections.During early course design for the learning-based labs, the information that would be presentedto students was planned in advance in a master document. This master document was the sourcematerial for the informational content presented in the VR simulations and given to the non-VRstudents as a PowerPoint; see Figure 2. With this approach, students are exposed to the sameconcepts, but the concepts are delivered through different mediums. The learning-based labs Aand C provide context to the experience-based labs and therefore precede them.Modules B and

Following an extensive search acrossleading academic databases simply using the terms “high school” AND “artificial intelligence,”1,943 articles were initially found. Strong inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed toensure the selection of articles that only related to research primarily focused on high school AIliteracy.

However, winning is not the onlybenefit of these competitions. By participating, students are exposed to an open-ended,interdisciplinary problem, which requires them to think critically about a problem and formulateinnovative solutions. Moreover, it provides the students an opportunity to apply the technicalknowledge gained during their academic journey such as structural analysis, project planning,design optimization, sustainability, and cost analysis to a real-world
