Hayden evaluated their interactive game project. For research, they found it helpful to find game ideas but sometimes struggled due to the large number of existing games. Their planning allowed them to organize their ideas and timeline. They managed their time well and completed the project on schedule. Peer feedback suggested adding sound/music and extending the gameplay length, which Hayden agreed with. Overall Hayden evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of their research, planning, time management, and final product.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Research
• The strengths of my research was that I think it was a really good idea to
do because it meant that I could look for some ideas on what I was going
to base my game of, and it helped think of an idea
• The weakness of my research was that sometimes I could think of what to
base my game of because there are so many different kinds of game out
there it is a bit hard to find a game that hasn’t been made before
• The things that I could have done better could be find a load of different
kind of games and I could have written down what the game don’t have in
them and then could try making a game from that
• The effect this will have on my game is that it will be similar to a game that
has been made but then make it my own by using my own colors and
characters.
4. Planning
• The strengths of my planning was that I think it was a good way to get all
of my ideas together to know exactly what I was going to make for my final
game and then it meant that I would know how long it would take me to
make my game and finish my product.
• The weakness of planning is that you might not know what you are going
to make for your final product and then you can't plan for it because you
don’t know what you are doing.
• The thing that could have done better in my planning would be to go more
into depth with my planning and written exactly how long I had got to
finish.
5. Time Management
• I think that I managed my time because I did all of my work and product
on time and I still had a bit of time to make sure that everything was as
good as I could have made it before I am going to hand it in.
• I completed my product on time and I could improve my game a little bit
more because I have got a little bit more time to make it better.
• If I had a little bit more time on my work I would have made more levels
for my game because I have only made one levels and I could make like
two more levels and I could make the game harder the more levels that
you go up.
6. Technical Qualities
We both
used the
same sun
I put
grass on
mine
They have put
some retro stuff
there
I put stars
on it
They have
palm trees
on it
They have put tall building
in the background
7. Aesthetic Qualities
I think that my work looks good because of the background that I had
used because I changed it and it looks a lot better now than it did do
before.
I think it was creative because I got ideas form other ones and changed
them to suit my style and I think that It looks really good.
The aspects of the game visuals that I like is the background because I
think it looks better in the dark than it does in the light.
The strengths of my final product is that I am good at making background
for games and make them look good
The weakness is that the car could have looked a lot better, but it was
really hard to draw a car out of pixels
9. Audience Appeal
I have appealed to my target audience because it was meant
to be for kids and adults because all different kinds of ages
like racing games and I think I have put it together well for all
people to like it.
The bits that do appeal to my target audience is the
background and the car that is being used in the game.
11. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
I like the aesthetic that you have gone for. Almost a
cyberwave look with more muted colours. It works well.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
Possibly a longer clip if time allowed it would have given a
better impression of the game. Some audio would have
added something more to it as well.
12. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
• I like the colours, the variety of shapes. The
amount of details in your game.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– You could add music and sound effects in the
background of your game. Maybe more designs such
as cars.
13. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product?
– I do like how you made the car and the detail on the
car as well, and I do like how the car gets smaller as it
drives off
• What improvements could have been made to the
product?
• One thing I would suggest is maybe it being a bit
more longer next time and instead of shrinking the
layer, make it so that when the car gets small the
detail on the car doesn't get so pixelated.
14. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
• I agree with that they would like it to be a
little longer and add a little bit of sound and
music.
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback? I don’t think it needs more car
designs
15. Peer Feedback Summary
– The changes that I would make are making it a
little bit longer because it was to short and add
some sound and music I would make these
changes because I think that I would make it
better and then it would feel more like a game
