Description
As computers become a more embedded aspect of daily life, the importance of communicating ideas in computing and technology to the general public has become increasingly apparent. One such growing technology is electronic voting. The feasibility of explaining electronic voting protocols was directly investigated through the generation of a presentation based on journal articles and papers identified by the investigator. Extensive use of analogy and visual aids were used to explain various cryptographic concepts. The presentation was then given to a classroom of ASU freshmen, followed by a feedback survey. A self-evaluation on the presentation methods is conducted, and a procedure for explaining subjects in computer science is proposed based on the researcher's personal process.

Description
A creative project detailing the representation of Asian Americans in Sports Media. I interviewed 6 Asian American sports journalists across the US talking about their journey into the media world. They also talked about the representation of AAPI's in their market and how that affects them and their community as a whole.

Description
The thesis explores the avenues of machine learning principles in object detection using TensorFlow 2 Object Detection API Libraries for implementation. Integrating object detection capabilities into ESP-32 cameras can enhance functionality in the capstone dragster application and potential applications, such as autonomous robots. The research implements the TensorFlow 2 Object Detection API, a widely used framework for training and deploying object detection models. By leveraging the pre-trained models available in the API, the system can detect a wide range of objects with high accuracy and speed. Fine-tuning these models using a custom dataset allows us to enhance their performance in detecting specific objects of interest. Experiments to identify strengths and weaknesses of each model's implementation before and after training using similar images were evaluated The thesis also explores the potential limitations and challenges of deploying object detection on real-time ESP-32 cameras, such as limited computational resources, costs, and power constraints. The results obtained from the experiments demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing object detection on ESP-32 cameras using the TensorFlow2 Object Detection API. The system achieves satisfactory accuracy and real-time processing capabilities, making it suitable for various practical applications. Overall, this thesis provides a foundation for further advancements and optimizations in the integration of object detection capabilities into small, low-power devices such as ESP-32 cameras and a crossroad to explore its applicability for other image-capturing and processing devices in industrial, automotive, and defense sectors of industry.

Description
Culturally responsive teaching refers to an approach to teaching and learning that facilitates the achievement of all students by including content that is relatable to all cultures, and creating a culturally-supported and learner-centered environment. The CSE 110 course at ASU would greatly benefit from the incorporation of culturally relevant learning, as it would help them thrive in their chosen field of study while being able to uphold and value cultural relevance. The incorporation of culturally relevant pedagogy would further help students from marginalized communities feel more accepted and capable to thrive in STEM education.
We began our research by first understanding the foundations of culturally responsive pedagogy, including how it is currently being used in classrooms. Concurrently, we studied the CSE 110 curriculum to see where we can implement this teaching strategy. Our research helped us develop a set of worksheets. In the second semester of our research we distributed these worksheets and a set of control worksheets. Students were randomly assigned to an experiment or control group each of the four weeks of the study. We then analyzed this information to quantitatively see how culturally responsive pedagogy affects their outcomes. To follow up we also conducted a survey to get some qualitative feedback about student experience. Our final findings consisted of an analysis on how culturally responsive pedagogy affects learning outcomes in an introductory computer science course.

DescriptionThis is a reflection on Michael Frayn's Copenhagen, a theatrical experiment. It explores how directing affects the audience's experience of the text. It metaphorically correlates quantum theory and theatre in the round.

Description
Creative thesis written in conjunction with my Media Arts and Sciences capstone project, Relatables. Relatables are a series of collectible cards and pins that feature four fictional characters representing a diverse range of backgrounds and personalities. These characters serve as catalysts for open and insightful discussions, encouraging children to explore and reflect upon the beginnings of complex aspects of human experiences in a comprehensible manner. A QR code on each of the cards direct users to an interactive website that acts as a hub for exploration and discussion where users can access more detailed profiles of each character and resources for parents.

Description
This creative project is about the investigation conducted by Detectives Madison Fox and Mia Katz into the series of murders orchestrated by Professor Grimm at ChemScholars Institute. Professor Grimm uses his botany expertise to locate toxic plants all over the college campus, which he uses to kill the students who mock him, creating a reign of terror. The detectives use toxicology, forensic science, crime scene reports, and autopsy reports to solve the puzzle. An essential part of the investigation is toxicological analysis, which is used to detect toxic substances in the bodies of the victims and link their deaths to Professor Grimm's botanical knowledge. Forensic examination of the crime scenes provides evidence of the traces of poisonous plants found at the murder scene as well as the traces of toxins, and this helps in the reconstruction of how the crime occurred. Fox and Katz combine the various disciplines of forensic science to solve the case, bringing the professor to justice in the end. The interdisciplinary cooperation they demonstrated shows the importance of working together to pursue truth and justice, providing closure for the families of the victims.

Description
Japanese puzzle boxes are exquisite wooden creations that combine artistry, craftsmanship, and the thrill of solving intricate puzzles. Originating in Hakone, Japan, over 100 years ago, these boxes are called "himitsu-bako," which translates to "Personal Secret Box" due to their meticulously designed hidden compartments and complex locking mechanisms. Unlocking these boxes involves a precise sequence of movements, twists, and rotations, turning the process into an interactive and engaging challenge. The goal of this project is to create a puzzle box from scratch while incorporating some of the mechanics from the traditional Japanese puzzle boxes.
