Objectives:
- To create and develop the PANDA - the "PolyU Animals' Networked Development Arena"
- To help students learn and retain class material more effectively than in the conventional approach of using assignments which are usually artificial examples and "toy" problems
- To motivate and develop greater student interest in computer science and information technology
- To deploy the development kit and the associated assignments to a required subject for all first year students in the Department of Computing
