• Abstract: In the rapidly evolving field of computer science education, novel approaches to teaching fundamental concepts are crucial for engaging a diverse student body. Given the growing demand for a computing-skilled workforce, it is essential to adapt educational methods to capture the interest of a broader audience than what current computing education typically targets. Engaging educational experiences have been shown to have a positive impact on learning outcomes and examination performance, especially within computing education. Moreover, physical computing devices have been shown to correlate with increased student motivation when students are studying computer science.
