This engineering education research project will develop the software and high school curricula to teach programming using mobile devices that will allow students to walk around and interact with each other as they develop programs for virtual robotics competitions. The project is driven by the hypothesis that a mobile, collaborative programming platform will improve learning outcomes in designing, generating, and evaluating algorithmic knowledge. The hypothesis has been subdivided into four measurable outcomes focusing on learning, transfer of programming knowledge, engagement, and procedures. Both learning and system development are addressed in the proposed research.The broader significance and importance of this project, if successful, are to fundamentally change how students learn computer literacy. Rather than sitting at a computer to develop programs, students actively move around and interact in the task of preparing for robot competitions. This work may engage a more diverse group of students in learning the basics of programming, a key skill for the 21st century workforce.

该工程教育研究项目将开发软件和高中课程，以使用移动设备教授编程，使学生在开发虚拟机器人竞赛程序时能够四处走动并相互互动。 该项目的驱动假设是，移动协作编程平台将改善设计、生成和评估算法知识的学习成果。 该假设被细分为四个可衡量的结果，重点关注学习、编程知识的转移、参与和程序。 拟议的研究涉及学习和系统开发。如果成功，该项目的更广泛意义和重要性将从根本上改变学生学习计算机知识的方式。 学生们不再坐在电脑前开发程序，而是积极地走动并互动，为机器人比赛做准备。 这项工作可能会让更多不同的学生群体学习编程基础知识，这是 21 世纪劳动力的一项关键技能。
