Soft skills are hidden curriculum, yet vital for wellbeing and success in work life. Many are 21st Century Skills (see link).
I assessed all 6-8th STEAM lab projects with a 21st Century Skills rubric to track growth over time. Assessing process, not just product.

My education role at The Sandbox Game was eliminated, so I’m in project mode while I seek my next adventure.
Goal: Learn to leverage AI to design and develop a fun game about using AI. The game will teach what I learn. #GameBasedLearning
So much fun creating again! 💙

UX/UI is often overlooked in indie games, but here’s why it matters:
players leave if menus frustrate them
good feedback loops = player satisfaction
clean design = better reviews

Traditional assessment focuses on products.
The assumption?
If we see a quality product, it means the student performed well on all related tasks.
Good Product = Good Process.
But that's far from true.
By focusing on only the final product, we lose the chance to offer more valuable feedback.
